well, I always found it a hassle to select texts in web documents for that reason. want to search a word in a hyperlinked headline? meh, the browser decides to open the link. even worse on touch enabled devices. double clicking stuff to open it does make sense, especially if they are more than just buttons.

Alt + select is a standard now in all major browsers.

This is like showing fire to a caveman. Holy crap. I wish Firefox had a tooltip when I'm "dragging" links to say "Hey, I bet you're trying to select!"
