Description
The website are using tooltips on links (from jQuery). It works on desktops, where tooltips shows after hovering cursor over link. But on mobile you don't have cursor, and tooltips are visible only after long touch. In modern mobile browsers long touch at link is an equivalent of right mouse button click (eg. to open link in new tab).
Today mobile user of the website can spot 3 situations:
So it will be great to redefine tooltips behavior - at least for mobile devices. It will probably requires creating custom solution instead of jQuery tooltip mechanism. Also some usability guidance can be helpful - as a starting point: Tooltip Guidelines from NNG.
I would probably be a good idea to fix this, as most users use phones to browse the web these days.
Would you be willing to write a small prove of concept in a PR? :D
