On Reddit, when I hover over the avatars of users in the left edge of comments, I get an annoying tooltip that prevents me from what I really want to do, which is collapse and expand comments.
How to use uBlock Origin to block that?

2also consider using "old" reddit, it is missing most of the misfeatures of this new design...– htmlcoderexeCommented Mar 5 at 13:32

@htmlcoderexe It's also missing most of the good features of the not quite as new, but still newer than old design. (Awesome username btw)– LogarrCommented Mar 5 at 15:00

Update:
This answer no longer works as of April 2024 because Reddit seemed to completely revamp their UI. The new 2024 UI doesn't seem to respect the "default card / compact" setting in settings.
new.reddit.com still points to the "previous new reddit", and this answer works there.
Original answer:
Open uBlock Origin settings, my filters, and put the following then apply changes
reddit.com##[id^="SubredditInfoTooltip--"][id$="hover-id"]
reddit.com##[id*="UserInfoTooltip"][id$="hover-id"]

1This doesn't seem to work anymore as of May 2024, not on chrome– madacodaCommented Apr 30 at 14:45

you're right, and it's not chrome too, it's every browser. It's because reddit updated their UI again. I updated the answer. Commented May 1 at 12:17

using new.reddit.com is a great solution for now, I only knew about old.reddit.com– madacodaCommented May 3 at 1:43
Try this filter:
www.reddit.com##faceplate-hovercard > div:nth-child(2)
While it blocks the contents of the card, a small empty tooltip does show up that I haven't managed to get rid of yet.
