Best Answer
You can change the delay for all Safari tooltips by setting
NSInitialToolTipDelay
. If you set a really long time, it's like they're disabled. For example, 10 seconds:Delete to use the default value
Safari stores preferences in its sandbox container and
defaults
will only look in the container if you don't have a preferences file from a time when Safari wasn't sandboxed (e.g. if you've upgraded macOS and kept your home directory). Check you don't have a~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
file fordefaults
to use the one at~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
, or manually provide this domain todefaults
