    Hey, HN! I have been working on the MaxFocus: Link preview extension for the past month. It allows you to preview the content of a link before you open it — a handy way to scroll through your feed without opening multiple tabs. Some of the extra features: — Read mode and dark mode for articles — Almost full customisation of UI and behaviour — Advanced safety: we use a few services to check the links for malware and phishing — AI summaries and extracting key points for the previewed page (Claude) — It also works even faster than opening links in a new tab It now gets 30-50 new users per day…
