Even within page content, responsive design techniques can customize it to different devices. > Also, force touch OSX UI isn't a replacement when you need to manually highlight multi-word selections for it to work. There is no such thing as force touch on OSX (macOS). And we are talking about hyperlink previews, not selections. It sounds like you're a little confused here.
