    In the vast overwhelming amount of cases tooltips show additional information that you cannot see from clicking on something or provide an explanation to an option that isn’t available without scrounging through a manual. None of those apply here.

      Tooltips show the full title of the tab, which is useful if the title is long, the tabs are small because there are a lot of them, or it’s a pinned tab

      The page title isn’t necessarily visible on the web page that sets the title.

      Clicking is not always a simple task.

      I shouldn’t have to leave my current page just to figure out what another tab is.

      Again, just because you feel something is useless or easily avoided doesn’t mean that all internet users feel the same.
