Very handy to review a long list of links.
Note: the preview pops-up only moving the mouse over the little icon.
Once appeared on the side, it will update the content hoovering on a different link.

Not every site will work (by CSP or x-forward headers), it's works.
It's a bit minimalist, but if could add keyboard shortcuts/or click on the icon instead of just hovering it, it would be much better.
