About
Read the full description
Hover a link in a page’s text and HyLink shows a small menu. Open the link in a new tab, a new window, or incognito. Tile it in a side window to read two pages at once. Copy the link clean, with tracking parameters removed. The menu stays hidden on nav bars, headers, and sidebars, so it does not get in your way. Choose the actions you want, set the hover delay, and turn it off on any site. Open source, MIT licensed. No data leaves your browser: no tabs permission, no telemetry.

Could you build this?
Yes A browser extension that shows a hover menu over links and performs standard tab, window, and URL-cleaning actions is well within reach of AI-assisted coding.
