Screen Reader support level: partial (3/33)
On this page About this featureA contextual popup that displays a description for an element. The tooltip is typically referenced via an aria-describedby relationship.
Recommendation: Avoid using the tooltip role. The role currently provides little value beyond the typical aria-describedby relationship used to define a tooltip. If the tooltip content contains structure or semantics, it may, in theory, be helpful to use the tooltip role to define the tooltip boundary and differentiate it from surrounding content. However, that expectation has little support. Additionally, there is little consensus on how the tooltip role should be supported and it's unclear if, when, or how expectations and support may evolve.
