I see an “Ultra preview” tag next to some posts, but I have no idea what this feature is. Does anybody know?

    It takes the text from the article and lets you read it without opening the link, saves you from annoying ads

      Huh, interesting. I’m finding it a bit difficult to tell which parts of the text are being pulled in.

      Thanks!

      Edit: actually, I’m pretty sure that’s not it. It doesn’t seem to have pulled out any of the text from this links in this post:

    Ultra preview is the large thumbnail / preview shown for that post.

    By default that post doesn’t have a preview and so ultra uses opengraph (a paid service) to grab a thumbnail.
