It also provide the feature of the maximizing the font of the tooltip which will shoe you the URL in the bigger font and also the title of the URL. This wrap the URL in the short form if you wish and check the Wrap URL option in the setting. If you are looking for the extension to view of the URL on the tooltip but not on the status bar then this one only give you the same. So enjoy it
