Working on IE and Firefox but not Chrome

I'm working on windows 10 and am using this gadget on english wikipedia and when I use it on internet explorer or firefox it works as intended but on chrome it doesn't show on hover and on a click instead of sending to the reference link it shows you the tooltip. Any ideas?

My guess is that there's a touch screen which is for some reason only being recognized by Chrome. There's no way for Javascript to reliably detect whether the user has a mouse, so the script defaults to only reacting to clicks for users with touch screens (even if there also is a mouse available), so that the touchscreen-only users can still access the tooltips like that.
