Popups appear too quickly (resulting in a lot of accidental hovers), for me at least. Maybe I'm just weird. Looking at the code, the delay is 150ms (or 50ms + download time) for opening the popup and 100ms for closing it. The original Navigation Popups use 500ms for both.

Or, we all are. We are logging the time duration of the Hovercard being open. I have requested some analytics [1] on it to be able to fine tune the delay and reduce accidental hovers.

(I'm not sure where exactly the code is) It might be good to reuse that variable name, so if an editor customizes one, it works for both.

For example: I have this code in my [[User:Quiddity/vector.js]] - // [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] popupDelay=0.3; popupHideDelay=0.3; (because I wanted it to be ever-so-slightly faster than the default of 0.5) and other people use a wide range of numbers - as I wrote months ago, on the archived talkpage: If we search Enwiki for the parameter name,[1] we see ~740 users have tweaked their settings, with a wide-range of figures, from 0 to 10 seconds. (It might be good to analyze those customizations for patterns?) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=100&offset=0&redirs=1&ns2=1&search=popupDelay

I looked at the results and it seems like most of the customizations are raising popupDelay or lowering popupHideDelay. Therefore I propose values of, respectively, 500ms and 300ms for Hovercards, especially since according to bug 66301 I am not the only person to think the current ones are too quick.
