Im not arguing that it is great feature just that it doesn't bother me. Not in the way someone who selects text while they read would. I even say if the majority of people agreed with OP I'd be fine with the changed UI. I just dont like the idea that you can shout "cater to me" and that's automatically a valid opinion because there is some consensus.
Yeah but the thing is…there’s no reason to have some bullshit .js do some weird unexpected thing when I select text on a website. There just isn’t.
Not only is the function never the same between sites, leading to a new experience for my brain to deal with each time, but it’s also obnoxious business bro bullshit that has no place on the WWW.
