Show URLs when you hover over links into a webpage.

This extension will show up the url of the link you're going to click.

You are probably asking yourself why this extenions was made for...well this, believe it or not, were made because modern browsers like Google Chrome are going to hide at the most the status bar of the url you're going to click. So i hope with this that you're going to know more where are you going to surf to.
But this extensions will not end up here, we're going (yes, this is not only my idea) to add some more nice features, so don't forget to come visit this page.
Thanks for trying, as always comments or suggestions are appreciated :)

CHANGELOG:
- 0.3: Add support for target=_blank links. Updated libs and more.
- 0.2.2: the tooltip was not shown correctly on mouseover.
- 0.2.1: updated to work with latest versions of Chrome
- 0.2.x: more to come :)
- 0.2: As promised here's the first update with some new nice features like:
- Now you can set the tooltip to be viewed also as a statusbar (with configurable position) or keep it as a simple tooltip
- Added a timeout to the tooltip to be shown
- First SEO Tool: Domain Highlighter (to understand better if you're are going to surf into the same website or not).
- 0.1: First initial version. Links are shown up on mouseover.

Would be nice if we could customize the font in which the link is shown. The current font I do not like.

The extension is quite helpful. However, in my experience with it, it frequently gets stuck somewhere on the screen blocking that portion of the UI. Also, once it gets stuck on the screen it is very difficult to remove it. I wish there was a dedicated bar at the top of chrome or bottom of Chrome which could become invisible as soon as the mouse is removed from the link. Currently, it is very annoying because of the way it gets stuck.

This extension does exactly what I need it to do and that is highlight high level domains of a link to prevent possible spoofing on web pages.
A great product! Thank you very much.

Chrome URL preview became buggy on my extended monitor. I didn't realise how much I relied on the preview until it wasn't there.
But this little extension has returned it reliably on both monitors with the added bonus of having the display in my line of sight, as well as the domain highlighted (in choice of custom colour).
You just made my day!
