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

I have the same problem here in all websites.
The problem is not extensions but the Chrome browser on version 86.
I downloaded Chrome 87 beta and problem is fixed.
So wait until release version 87.
