Feature request: tab previews #12

Is it possible to add optional tab previews on hover, like e.g. in Brave? tab previews Maybe it could be done using -moz-element() CSS function?

Thanks for the suggestion 😁

If this is possible, it wouldn't be an insignificant update. Rendering this preview outside the bounds of the sidebar would, (as far as I'm aware) require using a content script to render content within whichever tab is currently open, correctly positioned to look as though it belonged to the sidebar. Unfortunately, browsers like Brave have the advantage of being able to control everything about the browser UI, while extensions are much more limited.

I don't have any plans to work on this at the moment, sorry.
