JC, I think you might have posted this in the wrong thread. I believe one of these is the one you want: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tech...see-132-a.html for mobile, or https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tech...een-shots.html for desktop. Not sure which one is applicable to your post, but I'm guessing mobile.

Thanks, there are so many complaint threads. Hard to find the right one!

Hi Jaimito, I'll report this to tech. What was your browser/operating system? Mobile or lap/desktop?

I just stumbled upon this thread in the hope that there would be a way of suppressing these, to me, extremely annoying and intrusive pop-ups anytime my mouse pointer stops moving. For me, they just get in the way and are actually driving me away from Flyertalk.

I use MS Edge in Windows 10, though I've also tried Chrome given that a thread above suggested one didn't get the pop ups (or "previews") with that browser. But I do get them.

Please let's have the option to turn these things off!

Can you please post a screenshot of what you're seeing?

OK. As Windows snapshot could not capture the pop-ups, I had to use my phone! I'm used to browsing lists of threads and I really don't want to see the contents of a thread each time I go over it. It really puts me off!

Thank you!

Hi again John, what browser are you using? There's an extension for Chrome that will disable them: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...ocbkdfmn?hl=en

I would note that these are a standard feature on most websites and applications.

Thanks! That's great. I usually use Edge but will happily use Chrome where I get these annoying popsup!
