LinkTips Extension

Show URLs in all link title tooltips and allow custom title tooltip appearance.

Rather than moving your focus away from the mouse to see the destination of a URL, this will show the URL in a tooltip near the mouse when you hover over a link.

You can either use your system tooltip (default), or specify a custom tooltip (with completely customizable styles using CSS). You may even have all tooltips appear with the custom tooltip style, too!

This is a Free and Open Source extension. Look at the project on GitHub: https://github.com/nmbook/linktips-chrome

Charles (ID: 0000001eb67c0759) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/09/2021 Awesome, Exactly what I needed. I have to go through a bunch of CMS pages for the past year and update any unsecured links from "http://" to "https://". This not only saved me and my eyes from staring at the bottom left hand corner, it even made it even easier by displaying green for "https:" text and grey for "http:" text. I was even able to edit the css in the options to make the tooltip font size much larger.
