Snapshot — viewing link thumbnails in the browser without transitions

An interesting idea was implemented by programmers and designers of this project: preview links without clicking on them. Just move the mouse to the link — and a thumbnail of the site will be shown in a special window, and it's up to you to decide whether to download it in full or not. So how is this implemented?

To add such a feature to Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari browsers, it is enough to download a small plugin (about 150 KB), which can then be configured: set the preview window view, size, display delay and response methods. By the way, this window shows not only static sites, but also dynamic, flash, video and mp3. The preview mechanism is as follows: the link is transmitted to the program's website, where the page is loaded (or has already been loaded by someone before) and then its preview is formed, which appears in a special pop-up window.

Developing this idea further, the developers have created not only browser plug-ins, but also a special, inconspicuous code that, when inserted into your page, allows visitors to see a similar result without installing browser plug-ins, the program site itself will do all the work in conjunction with the page you are visiting. The idea seemed very convenient to me, especially when viewing search results.
