> Hyperlinks that do on-hover gimmicks like load previews or charts. I haven't seen one that shows charts, but I gotta admit, I miss the hover preview when no

  Something else that should absolutely be a browser-native feature rather than one each site has to optionally invent poorly and/or inconsistently.

    Agreed, as long as it can be turned off by user on the browser, and doing so does not break the site / ux.

    Blink-based browsers have a built-in link preview in a popup which you can turn on.

    It's native in Safari

  It can be done tastefully. I think this commenter is talking about the brief period where it was fashionable to install plugins or code on your site that mindlessly slaps "helpful" tooltips on random strings. I always assumed it was some AdSense program or SEO that gave you some revinue or good boy Google points for the number of external links on a page. In the modern day we've come full circle. Jira uses AI to scan your tickets for non-English strings of letters and hallucinates a definition for the acronym it thinks it means, complete with a bogus "reference" to one of your documents that doesn't mention the subject. They also have RAINBOW underlines so it's impossible to ignore.
