Maybe a bug ... hover over a download link (e.g. install on nodejs.org) and the file downloads. Very much dig it. Very fast rendering of preview.

It is a bug, we will fix it asap.

It even works on the reply links on this page, pretty neat.

Now we just need to get a parent link.

Please also add "blocked extensions" so we can add zip/rar/.tar.gz/.torrent/etc as these will download if you hover over them.

Thanks for the idea. We will make that update right away

Great, I'm loving this extension a lot, great idea and execution.
