I thought the previews were a great addition. Which Karen complained about such a cool feature?

This is why we can’t have (and keep) nice things.
This was something I personally thought looked cluttered. Like I said if most people prefer this let me know.

i liked the preview because it sorta worked like when you google something and it has a little blurb about what that link is.
for in site likes, such as linking to another thread, not much of a needed feature, but when it's an external link, it can get you a bit of an idea what that site is and whether or not it's worth clicking the link.
but i'm guessing on mobile it might really clutter things up. and i'm guessing there's no way of keeping it on desktop and disabling it for mobile

That's the issue it's an all or nothing.

I liked the preview, but I’m more or less indifferent with either format. If I want to preview a url I can just press and hold on the link (mobile safari) and get a pop-out preview of the page.

Prefer the url but I can see the appeal of the preview. If we go back to the preview, can it include the whole url in its description?
