It’s possible to use CSS and sometimes they might suffice. But the reason why many JS libraries exist for tooltips is to detect when a tip goes off-screen, so before integrating in to a project make sure the length of tool tips is not too long and they never need to be at the edge of screens (mobile etc). Just leaving this as a note before someone integrates the above and wastes their time. Sure the JS adds some overhead but JS/webpack etc can handle loading it only where needed.

yp.. I totally agree with you. Using this method gonna suck after some time. I've made this just to showcase what CSS is capable of.
