Personally I just hover to see where a link goes at times, but chrome's method of showing the link at the bottom after N milliseconds is more than sufficient. It doesn't need to permanently take up pixels otherwise.
- sp332 15y agoFirefox does the same, now. It's almost like Chrome's but it doesn't expand to show the "middle" of a really long link after a second.
- kstenerud 15y agoExcept that chrome's version obscures the navigation links in a lot of websites, which means you have to be quick to point and click in order to be able to navigate before the popup info tooltip blocks your click.
- sp332 15y agoThat doesn't happen (anymore?), because the popup will move out of the way of your cursor if you get close.
- kstenerud 15y agoIt happens to me all the time when I use Review Board on a big commit (which spans multiple pages). Just had it happen now on the latest Chrome. I have to move the mouse around and play dodge-the-tooltip and hope I get lucky.
