*Summary*: The Popover API <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/C#the-popover-attribute> (MDN <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Popover_API>, OpenUI Explainer <https://open-ui.org/components/popover.research.explainer/>) is now part of the HTML standard. It allows developers to create popovers of varying types and also easily trigger them from buttons, without using Javascript. One very common use case for popovers that isn’t well covered by the existing Popover API is building “tooltips”. The `popover=hint` proposed spec is designed to assist developers in building tooltips, and other similar use cases.
I intend to prototype this out in Gecko. *Bug*: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1867743. *Specification*: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/9778 *Standards Body*: WHATWG *Platform coverage*: all. *Preference*: dom.popoverhint.enabled *DevTools bug*: n/a. *Link to standards-positions discussion*: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/965. *Other browsers*: Blink: Shipping.
