Survol for Firefox

Remember those times when you had to click each and every link you saw in order to get more information about what was hiding behind it? No? Then it means you've already heard of Survol.

This extension for Firefox, as basic as it might look, could actually bring you a whole new perspective on accessing links on the web. This means that you won't have to open another link just to find out what it actually hides behind it.

As with most add-ons these days, once installed, you'll find it in the top-right corner of the browser. The nifty little paper plane icon will let you know if the extension is indeed installed. From there it should be plain sailing.

Once you click on the icon, a basic drop-down menu will appear before your eyes. If you were expecting a plethora of options, unfortunately, you're out of luck. Three sliders are what this add-on's menu is ultimately made up of. The most important one is situated at the top and activates or deactivates the extension on a certain browsed page.

The other two options included with this extension deal with allowing metadata preview. While this might affect your privacy, in the end, activating it will allow Survol to unleash its full power. Last but not least, the add-on also integrates a dark theme.

Whether you're an individual who likes to have all add-ons well-integrated with the browser UI or you're one of those who spend whole nights on the internet, the bottom line is you'll definitely need to activate the dark mode for the sake of the situation.

Survol for Firefox is an interesting extension that will make link previewing a breeze. It will save you time and tab space on your browser. This means a neat browser that can ultimately boost your productivity when you least think about it.
