Finally found a solution to remove the annoying thread preview in chrome

Trinitrotoluene

If you don't know what I'm referring to I am talking about this:

Step 1) Install this Addon https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blank-canvas-script-handl/pipnnjjknlabchljabhmnpdfpdobpnkk

Step 2) Copy this:

// ==UserScript==
// @name           xda-developer Mouseover Remover
// @namespace      Jackalo
// @description    Remove 'title' mouseover tooltips from the forum thread lists to prevent them from blocking your view
// @version        1.0
// @updateURL      http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/116101.meta.js?1.0
// @include        http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

// id = td_threadtitle_######, where # is a unique numeric number for each thread

// querySelectorAll allows regular expression matching!  Match and make a list of any ID that starts with 'td_threadtitle_'
var idToFix = document.querySelectorAll('[id^=td_threadtitle_]');

// Iterate through that list of ID's that need to be fixed
for (i = 0; i < idToFix.length; i++)
{
	// Make a backup copy of the data in case someone needs to view it from the source code for whatever reason
	idToFix[i].setAttribute('title-backup', idToFix[i].title);

	// Remove the 'title' attribute from the <td>
	idToFix[i].removeAttribute('title');
}

Step 3) Click the newly created icon for Blank Canvas Script Handler in the top right and click the settings icon

Step 4) Click new script

Step 5) Paste in the above script from Step 2

Step 6) Click Save and Close

Step 7) Close all your moneysavingexpert tabs and re-open to find the tooltips have forever gone.

Figment

an easier way - switch to a different browser!

I find it useful rather than annoying....

I suspect useful/annoying may depend on screen resolution - mine is 1920x1080 and the popup doesn't cover anything much up.

After spending some time on the site using a laptop on 1366x768 I too was getting annoyed with the mouseover and remembered this thread. I've added the script now too so thanks for posting it.
