Why do people hyperlink the title text? It is annoying. I wanted to mark and search the "Dell's Precision 5500" bit to see what the machine looked like. Then I tapped the link. Hyperlinking makes mouse highlighting difficult.
Hyperlink title is all over the internet and it is annoying and it serves no purpose.
- lucideer 5y agoSomewhat unrelated. Why do browsers make it so difficult to copy text within hyperlinks. The Presto layout engine handled this perfectly 15 years ago - how have other browsers not managed to fix this in the intervening period?
- anyfactor 5y agoI think mobile-friendliness has to be blamed for this. Most browsers these days have "copy link text".

- andrewxdiamond 5y agoIf you hold alt while highlighting, it bypasses the click events letting you highlight to your hearts content. Sometimes this doesn’t work when the site is using JS to do some kindof click handler, but it should work fine for an a tag
