It's there any good reason to prevent highlighting the text of the page? Being able to highlight and search text from the post is an integral part of the web experience. I shouldn't have to use reader mode. If the author reads this - knock it off. It's user hostile, and doesn't prevent harvesting of your content by bots or people. Make the experience of your content pleasant and don't get in the way of basic browser functionality.

- bit-101 5y agoAuthor read this and has no idea what you're talking about. I'm not doing anything to disable highlighting or searching and it works on every browser I've tested it on across multiple OSes and mobile. Give me some repro steps and I'll take a look.
- robbedpeter 5y agoInteresting. I'm using brave on mobile, looks like android dark theme + some browser settings made the highlighting invisible. I shouldn't post when hangry - thank you for reviewing, and sorry for the hassle. I need to give my browser setup more tlc.
- bit-101 5y agoto be fair, the wordpress theme I'm using does a red highlight, which I was not aware of until I tested it. May have contributed.
