Wikipedia has been quite a popular and widely used online encyclopedia that has tonnes of information on a various range of topics. It is impossible not to find any information you need in Wikipedia. This popular informative platform has recently introduced a new feature or update for its users which let them view page previews without actually clicking the link. Wikipedia page previews feature allows the users to actually view page previews of the links without actually going inside the links.

But it is known that Wikipedia is one of the most invaluable resources and may not be relied on always.

Wikipedia has a lot of entries on anything and everything you can think of. And many of the pages in Wikipedia contain links to other Wikipedia pages which until now we used to click and discover to know what is the link related to, but now with this recent update rolling your mouse cursor over the link will actually allow you to take preview of link and then you can actually decide whether to visit the link or not.

As of now, this feature is exclusively offered to the desktop users. If you think this page previews feature is more annoying than useful for you, then you are also given the choice of disabling it. You just need to open the page preview, then click on the settings cog, hit the disable option and save the changes.

We hope you utilize and enjoy this new Wikipedia page previews feature.
