Unless the site is _really_ messing with events, holding alt on PC (Windows/Linux/ect) or Option on macOS lets you select text in links without triggering the link to navigate.

- ivanche 11mo agoHoly fsck! 30 years on the web and today I learn about this Alt/Option trick. Thank you!
- buzzy_hacker 11mo agoSame here, that literally just changed my life
- MangoToupe 11mo agoHow about on mobile? This is a constant headache.
- zuhsetaqi 11mo agoSelect something directly before or after the link and then move the start and end of your selection to only select the link.
