Turn off tooltips in Safari

Tooltips are the little boxes that sometimes appear in web pages when you hover over certain elements on the page. In Safari you can turn these off. First close Safari. Then open a terminal windows and paste in the following line. 

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitShowsURLsInToolTips 0

Then hit Enter to execute this command. This will turn off tooltips in Safari. To turn the tooltips back on, repeat the command but replace the 0 with a 1.
