Good add-on but, why is it better on Chrome and Edge, where we can set the popup window-size and also set a popup-time?

How is this not a default feature?!!? Seriously: I hunted for this or a similar hover/preview add-on. This is perfect! Exactly what I envisioned! The hovered previews have scrollbars, they are nested, you can easily move back to the nested level you wish to.... Perfect. :)
