      Good enough! I’ll switch to Liftoff today

      EDIT: Liftoff isn’t showing any website/url previews for the links in the post or comment text but it’s working for primary URLs of posts so it’s better than nothing lol

      EDIT2: Actually Liftoff doesn’t do anything more than Jerboa already does. It seems Boost can show URLs before opening a link but it is closed source.
