Fork of Hover Free, which was a fork of hoverzoom.net -- this Chrome extension will show an image if you hover its thumbnail or a link.
Read why Hover Free was created:

Unfortunately, Ralph Tice decided to stop further development of Hover Free. I really wanted purple links visited via Hover Free to sync across computers, and got the crazy idea that I could implement it myself:

Philosophy:
HoverFree GOLD! will be free to use and help people preview a linked image.
HoverFree GOLD! will never inject advertising, referral links, adware, spyware, etc.
HoverFree GOLD! will never track or record browsing activity without you specifically telling it to (i.e. Reddit Gold visited links work by submitting a POST request to the Reddit API, telling it you visited a link. To get this functionality, you have to explicitly enable it in the options. Default setting is off.)
HoverFree GOLD! source and change history will always be visible on github, for maximum transparency into any updates or modifications.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
