Comment #16 on issue 8663 by brandoncash: Don't get status-bar on hovering  
over a link
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8663

I can confirm this on Chromium 4.0.212.0 on Windows XP.

Out of frustration, I've put together a pretty simple extension  
which "fixes" the
problem.  While it seems to work fairly well, there are some caveats:
1) It is merely an emulation of the status bubble, and is by no means  
perfect
2) I have only tested it on Chromium 4.0.212.0 on Windows XP
3) Most importantly, it will very likely break some sites

If you have any improvements, feel free to make them.  I'd love to hear  
your comments
and suggestions.  Please bear in mind that this is the first extension I  
have written
for Chromium, so it could probably use some improvement.

I have attached the .crx extension as well as the development files if you  
wish to
make your own changes.
