Accidentally clicking on anything resulting in accidental local deletions and modifications to the article is extremely irksome. Skill issue, I guess?

Took me a while to figure out what you meant, but apparently this blog post is hosted on Tably [1], which allows one to edit the page locally. One would expect there to be a setting to disable these features for a public post. [1] https://tably.com/ https://tably.com/

Longstanding browser-specific issues like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001790 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001790 make this tricky!

  Can you make those funny buttons that you're using to refer to other websites look less like links? It's pretty confusing when I see a blue word that underlines when I hover on it but I can't middle-click it.

  btw, can you make links be `<a>`?

  Nah, it's needlessly hostile (just look at the comments). > Longstanding browser-specific issues .. make this tricky! I don't think it's true, there are no browser-specific issues that stand in the way of anything that people are complaining about. Or do you have a PoC in whatever browser?

  Does a blog post really need to be contenteditable? The vast majority of people viewing the page are only going to viewing the post, not editing it.

The irritating thing for me is that their links have somehow broken the middle mouse button, so each time I want to click on one I have a few seconds of trying to remember how their specific site implemented it.
