Show Link Info as a Tooltip
-
If i'm hovering over a link I would like to be given immediate feedback of what it is I'm about to click. It would be nice to have the option of making this appear next to the mouse cursor rather than in a ticker at the bottom of the page.
-
On my 1200x1600 pixel primary monitor, the tooltip in the status bar is usually a long way from the URL over which my mouse cursor is hovering.
This small improvement would be helpful, especially for checking links that might be dodgy.
-
The traditional design's intention is showing title in tooltip & url in the statusbar, but I agree with @LonM to make it easier to the eye flow by included URL inside the tooltip, especially for link without any title.
Options should be something like this:
- Alternate between Title & URL display every 500ms.
- Both at once (Huge tooltip)
These options would be great for setup with disabled statusbar.
