Under The Sun

What is the point of Snap Preview? I thought we’d all agreed that uninvited pop-ups are intrusive, distracting, annoying and downright rude. Supposedly it gives the user the opportunity to decide whether the link is worth following, but since the Snap thumbnails are generally too small to read any of the text, all you can really preview is the colour scheme:  “I’m not going there– not with that shade of green…”.

When the little blighters started popping up on web sites all I wanted to do was GET THEM OFF MY BROWSER, not to actually look at them, so it was some time before I discovered that every Snap Preview contains a link to turn all previews off:

• click the “Options” link in the top right of the preview window
• in the options dialog, click “Disable Snap Preview Anywhere for ALL sites”

Relief — at least until you clear your cookies. You can also disable Snap Preview here.
