-## Overview
-
-Chromium does not have a status bar - to show the target of a link or page load
-status, we use a fixed-width bubble that floats over the content when necessary.

-
-## Timing and behavior
-
-The status bubble behavior in the link-hover case is described below.
-
-### Mouseover
-
-1. On mouse over link, begin Timer A.
-2. When Timer A expires, change the bubble text to the link value and
- begin fading in.
-3. If mouse moves out while fading in, begin fading out.
-4. When fade-in completes, show the bubble at full opacity.
-
-### Mouseout
-
-1. On mouseout, begin Timer B.
-2. If the user mouses over another link, change the bubble text to the
- value of the new link instantly. Go to step 4 of **Mouseover**,
- above.
-3. Otherwise, if Timer B expires:
- 1. Begin fading out until fade-out completes.
- 2. Or if mouse over again, change content and resume fade-in.
-
-This ensures that the bubble does not flicker in and out as the user's mouse
-traverses many links, and allows users to see the targets of multiple links
-quickly (compare to a tooltip solution). Timer A should be high enough so that
-if the user's cursor doesn't accidentally trigger the bubble in normal
-navigation, but low enough so that a user who wants to see a link is not kept
-waiting - generally with a slower fade-in, Timer A can be pretty low.
-
-## Size
-
-The status bubble's width is fixed to a percentage of the width of the window -
-while this results in link truncation, it prevents resizing as the user moves
-the mouse over multiple links. We try to keep the bubble under half the width of
-the window so that the bubble feels anchored to a corner, making that corner the
-obvious target for the user's eyes.
-
-## (Lack of) Security
-
-Note that the status bubble is [trivial to
-spoof](https://garron.net/web/spoof-link/) using a little CSS.
-
-In addition, it is also trivial to swap out the link after the user has hovered
-over it and pressed it, but before navigation.
-
-Therefore, the status bubble is just a convenience for users hovering over links
-on well-behaved sites, but it is **not** a security surface. \ No newline at end of file
