How to hide/disable the "status bar" ?
When you place your mouse over a link or image, a black stripe appears in the lower-left corner of the screen showing the address of that link or image. When you open a page, this "status bar" appears again showing messages like "Loading ...." or "Waiting ...."
I don't know what the black stripe name is, but it seems to have the function of the old "status bar".
I particularly don't like it showing up, and I see no use at all for that.
How does the user can disable this "status bar"?
- Better that way than what happens in the Windows 10 Mail app where the link info appears on top of the link itself thereby obscuring it completely.
That seems to be hard coded into Chromium. From what I can tell it can't manually be turned off. I looked it up real fast, and I guess others in the past have inquired about this issue before:
