Ha! So a lot of us have that strange problem! :) And I hate it too when websites do funky pop-up stuff on text selection. But somehow, I don't see that problem on this website. Which browser are you using?
- sp332 10y agoI see this on Firefox on Win10. And you have to hit the back button twice to go back, which happens on a lot of Microsoft sites. Edit: looks like it's being served from fyre.co, which might be blocked by adblockers?
- piyush_soni 10y agoStrange. I'm using Firefox on Win7 here, but it shouldn't have been Windows difference. Will check when I go home where I have Win10.
- piyush_soni 10y agoOh, I found out - I was looking at a following link from the original page (https://docs.microsoft.com https://docs.microsoft.com) - which didn't have the problem. It's there on the HN linked page. These days I fix all of these annoying pages using uBlock Origin's "Element Picker mode" and hiding them.

- infogulch 10y ago> And you have to hit the back button twice to go back Could browsers not be smarter about this? If I'm on page A and I click a link X that redirects to B, when I click back I expect to go back to A, especially if X still redirects to B.
- piyush_soni 10y agoBrowsers are already smart about that, but they also allow websites to override it, which is kind of important too. And then they can mess it up.
