I want to disable tab text balloons

I had trouble inserting a cropped screenshot, so I'll try again.

Dale, if you go to Tools menu > Settings and search in the edit box for "Show an image preview when you hover on a tab" is this option checked? If so, then you could try unchecking it and see if that stops the pop-ups.

I can't find anything resembling "Show an image preview" anywhere in the settings for 152.0.5. Searching for "Show an image" in settings has 0 results.

Dale, sorry, I should have said to not include the quotes. Instead try searching Settings for: Show an image preview when you hover on a tab

Alternatively, go to the "Tabs and browsing" section and then look for this setting under "Tabs".

I did not include the quotes when searching. The only thing relevant under Tabs is "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar," and that has been unchecked for years.

Dale, not sure why that option isn't there. Sorry, hopefully someone else knows how to either make it appear, or an alternative method for stopping the pop-ups.
