Why have you hijacked my rightmouseclick on the homepage when I want to open the Privacy link (or apparently any other link in the footer) in another window? Why are you breaking simple, established HTML paradigms for opening and clicking links and ruining basic established usage patterns?

Hey spinax! I'm actually not sure what you mean, and nearly positive all those links are just standard buttons. Can you give me any more detail on the kind of behavior are you seeing?

*edit: This is definitely not intentional, and sounds like a bug.

I see the issue. Right clicking on the links in the footer acts as a left click and redirects you immediately rather than staying on the page and listing options for how to handle the link. We'll work to fix this immediately!

Oh weird. What browser is were you able to reproduce it on? I couldn't reproduce it on Mac/Brave. Right click worked as expected for me :/

I'm on FF 89 on macOS and see the same thing. I right-click a footer link and it takes me to the link while briefly seeing the context menu.
