Answer 3

No code solution for JS activated tooltips:

With Chrome's devtools inspect the containing / parent element of the tooltip. In the "elements" tab, right click on that container DOM element then choose "break on" > "subtree modifications". The next time you hover over the part of the DOM the tooltip is housed in, the JS code will be paused allowing you to inspect the contents of the tooltip.

Answer 4

For some reason the answers provided here weren't working for me on Windows. I was able to inspect the tooltip by opening the dev tools, then hovering over the element that brings up the tooltip, then right clicking on that element (not the tooltip). Then, move the cursor over into the inspector panel and scroll down to the bottom. The tooltip element should still be there.

I had problems with this so I went to the documentation and inspected the tooltip that is already rendered on the page. That helped me see the dom structure of the tooltip and edit it accordingly.

Answer 6

Here is how I did it on Mac:

1. Hover over the element that has a tooltip with chrome devtools opened.
2. Wait for the tooltip to appear.
3. Open devtools command palette with a keyboard shortcut. Cmd+Shift+P worked for me.
4. Type in Disable JavaScript and press Enter

This will prevent from fading all the tooltips that utilize JavaScript.
