Description

After prolonged browsing, hover effects (eg, links with underlines) stop working. Hover effects work again after disabling then reenabling Vimium. I noticed this behavior on amazon.com

os: macos sierra 10.12.4
chrome version: 79.0.3945.117
vimium version: 1.64.6

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. First reproduce the prolonged-use failure with Vimium 1.64.6 on macOS Sierra and Chrome 79, then trace the hover behavior until the cause is identified; done means hover effects continue working without disabling and reenabling Vimium.
