does anyone know of a solution for websites that hijack your ctrl-LMB (which is supposed to open the link you just clicked in a new tab)?

#34I assume there's something similar for Safari on Mac, but I don't know. When I run into a site that doesn't want to let me select/copy text, I screen shot the page -- in Photos on iOS, and in Preview on MacOS, selecting text out of an image generally works great. Just tap and hold a moment on iOS, or hover a moment on MacOS, and then drag/click-drag to select.
It’s called StopTheMadness and has lots more configuration options to “fix” other weird behaviours.

#36I remember disabling right click on a geocities site I built for my friends to show off their hand-drawn comics. Another guy in our 4th grade class was rehosting our comics on his geocities so I disabled right click.
"Inspect Element" didn't exist at the time so it worked out great.
