I’ve been building GoPeek — a browser extension that lets you open links inside live interactive mini browser windows instead of constantly exploding your browser into endless tabs.

The idea is simple:

Most links are just curiosity clicks.

You don’t always want:

open tab → wait → check → close tab → return

You just want to peek.

So GoPeek lets you hold a modifier key (Shift/Alt/Ctrl) and instantly open links in fully interactive mini windows directly inside your current page. You can browse, scroll, compare pages side-by-side, minimize sessions into floating bubbles, and continue researching without breaking context.

It’s especially useful for:

• developers

• researchers

• students

• documentation-heavy workflows

• people with 73 tabs open for “later”

Some current features:

• live interactive previews

• sidebar split-screen mode

  

• multi-peek support

  

• floating bubble minimize

  

• adaptive/dynamic theming

The Chrome Web Store and Edge listings are currently pending, but if you want to test the developer beta manually, you can already try it through the unpacked extension version.

Installation is straightforward:

1. Download the ZIP

2. Extract it

3. Open chrome://extensions

4. Enable Developer Mode

5. Click “Load unpacked”

6. Select the extracted GoPeek folder

I would love feedback, especially about any unusual edge cases, and workflow ideas from people who spend most of their day inside a browser.
