The "Peek" feature they showed in a tweet seems cool, is there an extension for that in Firefox? Where you can get a tab-within-a-tab to view an article or etc without opening a tab yet. I would definitely install an extension to be able to right-click "Preview Link" or "Preview Tab" or etc. I did a quick search for "Preview Link" and "Peek" and nothing really showed up. There was one "simple link preview" but I tried installing it and it just seems super buggy so I uninstalled.

The part I like lost about the peek feature is when it happens elsewhere in the OS. I click a link in outlook or iMessage and I pops up right there in context without jumping all the way to my browser. ESP nice for unsubscribe links in emails.

do you mean that this Arc browser enables that?

Oh I'll admit that does seem like a selling point to have it installed at least. Does it have to be default browser or what's the UX like?
