About
TL;DR Peek is a Chrome extension for previewing online articles before opening them. When enabled for a website, hovering over an article link displays a small preview containing the page description, a TL;DR generated from the article's actual text, reading time, publication date, and byline. The extension extracts article content directly in the browser using Readability and selects sentences that best represent the story, while removing elements such as cookie notices, subscription prompts, navigation, and photo credits. TL;DR Peek processes everything locally in the browser without a server, API key, account, analytics, or sending content elsewhere. Previews are disabled by default and can be enabled individually for selected websites. The extension is designed to help readers quickly decide whether an article is worth opening, particularly when dealing with clickbait headlines, lengthy articles, or uninformative page descriptions.
