Recently i noticed that URLs flash in the lower left corner of my screen, when mouse hovers over certain things on a web site. Why did it start doing this, and how can i get it to stop? very annoying. Also, when i stream a movie, for example on MUBI, the URL sometimes appears in low left screen and remains, which is distracting. Again, this is something new. Help appreciated! Thanks!

That happens when the mouse is over a link. This lets the user know where the link is going.
