Nexus Media Preview (Browser Extension)

Nexus Media Preview

Nexus Media Preview is a lightweight, unofficial browser extension that makes browsing Nexus Mods faster and more convenient.

It allows you to preview screenshots, videos, descriptions, requirements, and other useful mod information without constantly opening new tabs or leaving the page you are currently browsing.

This is an independent, open-source community project. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Nexus Mods.
