About YouTube™ on Hover Preview
Watch YouTube videos instantly by hovering your mouse over any YouTube link on a webpage.
"YouTube™ on Hover" extension displays a floating panel player once your mouse is over a YouTube link. This is useful to preview YouTube links without the need to open them in separate tabs.
To hide the floating player, just click somewhere inside the page.
For your convenience there are some options:
- You can either place the player at the center of the screen or just beneath the YouTube link with custom offset.
- For the player to appear, keep hover over a link for 1 second. This option is useful to bypass YouTube links that are accidentally been hovered
- Once a link is previewed, it will be stroked-through to be distinguished from other YouTube links that are still not visited. Note that the strike-though is not permanent. Reloading the page will remove all the decorations.
- As of version 0.1.4, you can watch previews in "Turn of the Light" mode. Open options page to change this setting.

Data source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
