Alternative to qTip (jQuery Tooltip Plugin)

Question

Can anyone recommend a good alternative to qTip, the jQuery tooltip plugin? I feel like it's slowing down my web app because its adding canvas elements and event listeners all over the place.

Answer 1

GitHub.com uses tipsy. I trust that they have chosen pretty carefully, so that's what I would go for.

The Bootstrap tooltips are "inspired" by Tipsy as well.

Answer 2

jQuery Simpletip.
