About
Hover a link in a page’s text and HyLink shows a small menu. Open the link in a new tab, a new window, or incognito. Tile it in a side window to read two pages at once. Copy the link clean, with tracking parameters removed. The menu stays hidden on nav bars, headers, and sidebars, so it does not get in your way. Choose the actions you want, set the hover delay, and turn it off on any site. Open source, MIT licensed. No data leaves your browser: no tabs permission, no telemetry.
AI Summary
HyLink is an open-source Chrome extension that provides a hover menu for links, allowing users to open links in various ways while removing tracking parameters. It prioritizes user privacy by ensuring no data is collected or transmitted outside the browser.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
