Google Chrome weird cursor blink on pages, never seen 'em before

Google Chrome Problem Overview


As I'm paranoid more with online breach, recently noticed that Google chrome elements upon click showing cursor blink and that's spooky. HTML page elements became editable? It's not happening with Mozilla, and the extensions enabled on chrome are,

  • Apollo Client Developer Tools,
  • Authenticator
  • Vue.JS Tools

On Firefox, it's allowing to select and no cursor blinks and that's the default behaviour.
