Does anyone else feel like browser text selection is still weirdly outdated?
Chromium already has that built-in behavior where if you double click a word, it automatically selects the whole word perfectly.
But during normal browsing, most of us don’t actually double click every time. We just quickly click + drag naturally, and that’s where things constantly break.
You try to copy:
Smart tools for smart people
…but end up copying:
mart tools for smart peop
Then you reselect it again just because a few letters were missed.
It sounds tiny, but when you’re coding, researching, writing, handling documents, or constantly moving between tabs all day, these little interruptions add up way more than people realize.
Honestly feels like browsers should already have some kind of optional “smart selection” mode that snaps partially-selected words into full words automatically.
Curious if other people get annoyed by this too or if I’m just overthinking browser UX lol.
I found this tool/extension name Click-Line after saying same problem to chatgpt, that's a suggestion from AI, got to try this once.
And also want to figure out best cure for the problem from guys.
