I had a look into it; user-select doesn't apply to before/after content.

This process has taught some interesting things about browsers. For example: `<br>` and `<img />` elements are "replaced" and can't really be shown in the way all other elements are. (I conveniently avoided using them).

And, as described above, ::before/::after content cannot be selected, and generally behave... strangely.

`<hr>` too? And `<marquee>`?

Did you see any variance between browsers? Hopefully not, with "common" CSS like this, but it would be interesting.
