The difference between this case and other uses of hover is that displaying the URL doesn't impact the page itself (usually). Instead it is displayed in an otherwise unused bit of the browser chrome.
- garrettgillas 16y agoMaybe I should be more specific. All mainstream desktop browsers do this not just chrome. In Chrome it pops up, in Firefox/Safari/IE they call it the "Status Bar" and this is what I'm referring to. On my mobile browser (Android) It highlights the links for me on mouse over and highlights phone number in a different color when I use the trackball from time to time. The point is that I don't think of this as interference but as something I have grown to depend on.
- joshuacc 16y agoI understand that. The term "browser chrome" means "all the stuff your browser shows you outside/around the web page itself." Google's browser was named Chrome because it has very little browser chrome.
