Default is Cursor Mode. Switch anytime: Alt + C / U.
Hover highlighted terms in Underline Mode, or select any text in Cursor Mode to see a concise Wikipedia preview.
Yes. WikiPeek uses Wikipedia content and is free to use. If we add optional pro features in the future, the free core will remain.
Almost everywhere. Some apps with heavy custom editors may limit selection, but Cursor Mode typically works across blogs, docs, forums, and news sites.
Use the popup, the floating control hub, or keyboard shortcuts: Alt + C for Cursor Mode, Alt + U for Underline Mode.
None for tracking or advertising. We store minimal local settings (like your chosen mode) using Chrome storage. See the Privacy section below.
Some Wikipedia entries don’t have a thumbnail, or you may have images toggled off in settings. You can switch that on in the popup or control hub.
WikiPeek runs locally in your browser to render previews and highlight terms. We request host access to read the text you select and to insert the tooltip UI; we do not collect browsing history or personal data. Settings like your preferred mode are stored using Chrome’s local storage.
Add WikiPeek to Chrome and get instant context anywhere on the web.
