A news website must not know that i selected text. A webpage shall display text. Keyboard input shall not be allowed except in text fields.

I guess you must be really pissed off at something because you're not making any sense.

Couple of things

1. How do you focus a text field without a keyboard? Mouse or touch only? No TAB, no up/down keys for scrolling, no escape, etc.

2. You can disable all non text content in a web page. This was always possible

I can go on and on but what's the point?
