How to Enable Tab Preview on Hover in Microsoft Edge
You enable tab preview on hover in Microsoft Edge by adjusting a single setting, allowing you to see website snapshots when you move your mouse over open tabs.
Hovering your mouse over an open tab in Microsoft Edge will display a preview. This feature is enabled by default and shows a small thumbnail of the webpage.
This feature provides a visual snapshot of your open webpages, eliminating the need to click through each one to find what you’re looking for. It’s a built-in capability of Microsoft Edge, the default browser for Windows 11.
Having many tabs open can become unmanageable, and this setting makes identification quick and easy. For example, you can hover over ten tabs and instantly spot the one you need without disrupting your workflow.
Once you activate this option, Microsoft Edge will immediately display a small thumbnail of the webpage as soon as your cursor rests on its tab.
