I really don’t like this new fashion for Snap previews.
What’s the value? I can see what the linked web page looks like? But I’m clicking for content not eye candy (from blogs in any case), and those pop ups are driving me mad.

Snap… I’m not looking for pretty pictures…

I don’t like Snap either. I use Browster for that…

I agree, I have all kinds of browser tech to avoid popups, I don’t need some damn thing on my screen every time I mouse over a link.
Valid rant Mr. Murphy, they’re a nice demonstration of what’s possible in a browser but for general web browsing they make the experience more rather than less cumbersome.
Well John as you know, what’s possible isn’t necessarily what’s best!

Hey Tom, I went looking today and found out that you can turn the previews off.
