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.

Awesome that you can make your own style... there's an annoying bug in Chromium that after I do <SELECT> the hover link tooltip doesn't show up anymore, and seems like Google doesn't care fixing it... thanks for this widget!!! I have made a CSS that makes it look as original, but unfortunately the position is impossible to be made static and at the bottom left. Also it waits for the page to be fully loaded. Anyway solved it by getting Chromium 64.
