This was a fantastic extension, but the change from an embedded window to a floating one is very annoying. The option to choose which mode to use would be great!

Having to point each link with the mouse is too cumbersome and inefficient. This could have been useful to check links faster with the keyboard: using the up and down key used to work great when Google first released this preview feature (which was removed soon after probably -just a guess- due to their business model) but unfortunately this extension is not using keyboard shortcuts. Hope next version has this done (I'm un-enabling it instead of uninstalling it just in case they do it later). Anyway, for this extension to be usable/practical the preview has to be displayed faster than it is now... Hope they manage to make it.

Окно-превью залазить на найденный список. Где и как можно задавать ширину вашего окна? Раньше все было нормально.
