User reviews
I've always appreciated the 'peek' functionality available in browsers like Arc (Peek mode) and Zen Browser by default. MaxFocus brings this feature to Edge, and it's a game-changer for me! It allows me to preview links without leaving the current tab, which is incredibly convenient. Having gotten used to this in other browsers, the absence of such a feature in Edge was a hurdle for me. Thanks to MaxFocus, transitioning to Edge has been so much easier. Highly recommend it to anyone who values efficiency while browsing!
