I’m not a big fan of status bars in browsers. Most of the time, they’re just wasting 20 or so pixels of vertical display space.
That doesn’t mean I want to miss out on the functions the status bar provides – like displaying the destination of links I hover over.
The URL Tooltip addon offers a simple remedy for that. Once installed, you’ll see a tooltip balloon whenever you park your pointer on a link. And never mind the status bar – it’s nice to see the link appear in the spot you’re already looking at.
For those of you running a netbook, this is a great little add-on to make part of your add-on arsenal.
And no, I did not just buy a Maximus keyboard – just in case you were wondering…
