Popper.js — the positioning engine behind millions of dropdowns — stopped active development when its maintainer moved the project to Floating UI, and the old <code>popperjs/popper-core</code> repository now redirects into the new project entirely. Tippy.js, the most popular tooltip component built on top of Popper, was archived in May 2024. Meanwhile the npm packages still install, the demos still render, and nothing crashes — which is exactly why so many teams are carrying dead dependencies into 2026 without a migration plan. This guide shows you what actually changed, what breaks, and how to move to Floating UI in an afternoon.</p>
