How to use MaxFocus

MaxFocus is designed for flexibility and can be adapted to any user's workflow. You can activate link previews in several intuitive ways:

• Hover to Preview: Simply rest your mouse cursor over a link, and after a brief, customizable delay, a preview window will appear.
• Long Click: Press and hold your mouse button on a link to trigger the preview. This prevents accidental pop-ups.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: For keyboard-centric users, navigate to a link using the 'Tab' key and press 'Space' to open a preview. Alternatively, use 'Alt+Click' for an instant preview without any delay.
• Mac-Specific Shortcuts: Mac users can use familiar commands like 'Command+Shift+Click' or 'Ctrl+Shift+Click' for quick access.
• Context Menu: Right-click on any link and select "Preview with MaxFocus" from the context menu for seamless integration with your standard browsing actions.
• Paste a URL: You can also click the extension icon in your browser toolbar and paste a URL directly to preview it on your current page.

Core Features of MaxFocus

• Instant Link Previews: Peek at articles, videos, and other web content without opening new tabs. Works on most websites, including Google Search, Notion, and social media platforms.

• Privacy and Security First: MaxFocus is built with privacy at its core. It does not track your browsing history, does not store any personal data, and actively blocks trackers to protect your online footprint.
• Broad Browser Compatibility: Use MaxFocus on your favorite desktop browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Vivaldi.

Furthermore, its strong commitment to privacy and security makes it a trustworthy choice in an era of data surveillance.
