I think internet explorer did this selection thing at one point years ago. I don’t recall chrome doing it. Firefox used to have a ‘caret browsing’ feature but people didn’t use it so it was eventually removed. So I don’t really think it’s a missed opportunity so much as a feature people didn’t sufficiently love.

Press F6 in firefox for caret browsing.

That would be F7. The same works in Chrome.

Thanks, that comes in very useful from time to time. I thought that got disabled. Chrome did double checked that I know what I’m doing with a popup, I hope this is not a sign this will get deprecated.

Ah I didn’t realise it still existed. I think I must have misremembered the warning as being a deprecation notice.
