I hate web previews, they are noisy, shout to attract attention, waste space and totally break the content structure.

Looks great!
Please note: on mobile devices, the preference automatically becomes “On click” and the preview is displayed inline.

I implemented it more for having a pleasant formatted content, and to avoid spoofing my IP (if a proxy is not present, Fevela has one). But actually low bandwidth/cpu devices are also good targets for this feature!
