This page abuses
user-select
to prevent you from selecting the text. The property is not inheritable, but I already see people suggesting it is. This is because of Chrome (
761433
,
764316
) and Safari bugs (which
Can I Use
does not note). Also, this property is not final and may change. Probably do not use it.
If you have draggable controls/content on your page and you find it annoying when the text gets selected, then only use it after confirming users never need to select that text and that your draggable feature is also keyboard accessible. If it is not keyboard accessible and/or it has no keyboard equivalent, you need to dump the feature and this property will be mooted.
If, however, you are a Chrome/Safari user who has encountered this in the wild, I have a bookmarklet to re-enable text selection:
