You enable tab preview on hover in Microsoft Edge to see website snapshots when you mouse over open tabs.

Tab previews provide a visual clue for identifying your open web pages without clicking each one, a feature available in Microsoft Edge, the default browser for Windows 11.

This setting helps you quickly find the specific site you need when you have numerous tabs open. For instance, instead of clicking through ten tabs, you can just hover your mouse and identify the correct one.

Once activated, Microsoft Edge will instantly display a small thumbnail of the webpage as soon as your cursor rests on its tab.
