Hover Read: A Convenient Article Summary Tool
Hover Read is a Chrome extension developed by Mark Dunne that aims to provide users with quick article summaries. This handy tool works similarly to HoverZoom, but instead of enlarging images, it displays a summary when you hover over a link to an article.
Hover Read is designed to make it easier for users to get the gist of an article without having to read the entire piece. This can be particularly useful for those who are short on time or prefer to quickly skim through content.
Currently, Hover Read is still in the development phase. The extension comes with a pre-defined white-list of websites from which it attempts to load articles. However, the developer is open to adding more websites upon request.
In recent updates, the Hover Read extension has made improvements to hovering functionality, changed the CSS, and added more websites to its white-list. It has also reduced the permissions required and transitioned from black-list to white-list filtering for enhanced user privacy.
Hover Read is powered by the Clipped.me API, ensuring that user privacy is guaranteed while enjoying the convenience of article summaries.
