Chrome blicking cursor [duplicate]

I don't know if this is a common issue, but some times ago I started to see a blinking cursor onthe Chrome's webpages, like it was in "edit" mode...

enter image description here

probably is due to an extension that I would install, but now, I don't know how to get rid of this.

Wherever I click I leave the cursor blinking at that place....

I have not so much extensions actually, but I have unsinstalled some

This is often called caret browsing and is used to allow you to select text without using a mouse.

Press F7 to enable or disable this mode in Chrome (as well as Firefox, Edge, MSIE).

  • Accessibility on Chrome > Use a text cursor to navigate & select text
  • Accessibility features in Firefox > Using a keyboard to navigate within webpages

Most browsers (and other kinds of document viewers) have this feature available, typically somewhere under "Accessibility settings".
