Hi - sorry for the confusion!  The name change came as one of the results
from the qualitative testing

on the feature.  Since not all of our users know the definition of "hover",
the previous name was inappropriate.  "Page previews" was the most common
name with which the tested users referred to the feature naturally.

There's also a (very) short note on the beta feature page

explaining the rationale.

- Olga

What exactly is "PagePreviews"?

From

it looks to be the second renaming of the Popups extension/Hovercards,
except this time it's named very similarly to the actual "show preview"
feature...? Is there a rationale somewhere about the renaming?
