Live Blogroll will make your blogroll livelier. It will show a number of ‘recent posts’ for each link in your Blogroll using Ajax.
When the user hovers the mouse above the link, RSS feed from the site is automatically discovered and a number of recent posts is shown dynamically in a box.
Live BlogRoll uses internal caching for feed discovery and WordPress caching for RSS feeds to make sure everything is smooth for the user.
The looks of the hover box are fully customizable with CSS, and the position is editable in the options.

Shows a number of 'recent posts' for each link in your Blogroll in a popup box, using Ajax.

Shea Bunge

Creates three shortcodes – [bookmarks], [links] and [blogroll] – that will generate an unordered list of your WordPress links. 
Preforms the same function as <code>wp_list_bookmarks()</code>.
You can any of the shortcodes within a post, page, media, text widget, etc. 
This makes it much more flexible then using the default Links page template that may be included in your theme as you can add other content surrounding the list, also when you change themes there is no need to edit the page.
You can customize the output of the list by using the same arguments that are accepted by the <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_list_bookmarks/" rel="nofollow ugc">wp_list_bookmarks()</a> function. 
Example: <code>[bookmarks show_images=0 show_ratings=1 show_name=1 ]</code>
