>Another nice-to-have feature there would be to make tooltip stay longer on. About twice as much would be enough for me - and I read fast. Or if it needs to be configured somewhere, just say so in the help. The tooltips help a lot, as if I can read the tooltip, I don't need to wait for all the ads to fail to load just to see that the two paragraphs don't contain what title has promised - usual thing with news.

Agree, but I don't know how to make the default tooltips stay longer. I remember seeing a custom tooltip class somwehere once but can't remember where.
