20SB Summfly Link Summaries/Previews

Does anyone else find these annoying. They just started showing up for me on all external links on 20SB. When I click links all that happens now is the summary pops up instead of taking me to the linked page. This is kinda frustrating. In general, I don't really like any sites that have link previews. It seems like a waste of processing power, there is little that can be learned from them unless you visit the site anyway. If this is an option that could be turned off, I think that would be great. Anyone else feel this way/have the same problem?

I totally agree. I tested this with a long, strong hatred for SnapShots. You know that service is enabled on 25 million websites? They do like 25M in revenue. Those numbers are probably off, but still.

For something I honestly haven't known many to like, that's insane. I employ the same surfing techniques you do, so I see your case against popups altogether.

On the self-link, you are correct. We're trying to avoid making rules anyway; plenty of other issues and time commitments to dedicate ourselves to.
