Blue line at bottom of Web Pages?

[Daffy D]

Windows 10 with Edge.

 

Recently been getting this blue line flashing up whenever I hover over a section of Webpage.

 

Not had this happen before and it's quite irritating.

 

Any idea how to get rid of it? 

 

Cheers

It's an important feature (for many).

Checking the full URL to get a better idea if its legit/plausible.

Mine is just black/white (Firefox) and I never thought about how to get rid of. Not new to me.

Not sure whether this is of any help for you (I use EDGE very rarely):

It might be new to you/EDGE since they adopted the "Chromium" engine from Google Chrome.

I think we all have our own ideas about 'important features"  

 

Mine also used to be B/W and hardly noticeable but now with the blue fill its really noticeable and very irritating

This is about tab previews, which is not the problem I have 

 

Thanks  anyway 

 

Incidentally it also happens in Chrome  ????

I use Chrome and the colour fill of the box changes with the colour scheme of the browser.  Maybe get rid of that blue?

Maybe you got a discount on the BTS Blue Line.

I am using Edge, and no blue box on mine by default.

To get rid off it in Firefox (I wouldn't recommend as you say it shows the FULL url of the link)

It's called "#statuspanel"

A bit complicated and does not really relate to my problem

 

But thanks anyway

Same here before, possibly came with the latest update 

 

Wish they would stop offering their "enhancements" by default

Thanks, but sure no intention to remove.

All searches about Chrome or EDGE led to dead ends (can not?).

Yes, developing enhancements and not implementing them should be standard… ????

Yet I don't seem to have this on Brave (based on Chrome)..........should I feel hard done by.......

Or perhaps I am not hovering in the right way...

It should be when they're not really enhancements as appears to be the case here.

Hovering correctly is a highly skilled art, I have perfected it over many years. Shame the only benefit is an irritating blue status bar  

 

Edge is also based on Chrome and I have it, so yes  you should feel hard done by
