Alt+Click to preview links in a floating window (Zen Browser Glance style)
🌀 Brave Zen Glance (UserScript)
Bring the power of Zen Browser's "Glance" feature to Brave, Chrome, or any Chromium-based browser.
This UserScript allows you to preview links in a beautiful, floating, minimalist window without leaving your current page or cluttering your tab bar.
✨ Features
Aesthetic Background Blur: When active, the background webpage is softly blurred and dimmed to keep your focus on the preview.
Frameless Design: No clunky toolbars or title bars. Just a sleek, rounded window.

Escape or Click Outside: Instantly close the preview and return to your page.
