How often do you actually use a pop-up that comes up when selecting text? And is it really more convenient than selecting followed by a right click, or pressing a shortcut?
Even if the people who select text while reading are in the minority, this post shows it’s a large minority. And I’m quite convinced that the number of times such a pop-up is used, is also a minority.
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.

It’s as annoying as the floating context bar in Illustrator and Photoshop. And i dont even typically select text while reading it
