...completely breaking accessibility for people who primarily, or solely use a mouse. As of about a day ago they decided to hijack the right click to take focus away from whatever you selected, possibly to support this new "Embed" feature that overlays a button that opens a new tab, any time you select new text. I wonder what the hell the end goal is for them? I can't imagine this could have any sort of positive business outcome associated with it.
