Remember how I was excited about the preview options in Arc, and then when I stopped using Arc, I shifted to Chrome and found an extension called MaxFocus to give me the same preview options (Read more here: [Link Previews in Chrome using MaxFocus](https://nerdymomocat.github.io/posts/link-previews-in-chrome-using-maxfocus/))? Well, Safari has an inbuilt option for link previews (and I learnt about it [here](https://underpassapp.com/news/2024/5/1.html)) — you can use force touch on your touchpad or use `⌃+⌘+D` while hovering over the link (similar to bringing up the dictionary) to bring up the preview popup. That is awesome! Honestly, there are so many shortcuts with `^` and `⌥` that I am still learning them (see other shortcuts you might like here).
