I can't highlight anything with my mouse on the site. I obsessively highlight passages when I am reading on a web page.
Why would they block that?
- Rychard 6y agoThey also block middle mouse button clicks, preventing me from smoothly panning down the page. At least with Firefox, "Reader View" appears to circumvent this restriction.
- kylegalbraith 6y agoI suspect this might be some crude attempt at blocking copy and paste, but maybe I'm wrong.
- jrodthree24 6y agoYup. Can't right click, highlight, anything. For something targeted at developers, I wonder why anyone would waste their time. Anyone with basic knowledge of webdev could rip the entire site if they wanted to.
