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

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.

Demo of problem:

An easy solution is to press the F7 key on the Chrome browser.

This method makes it easy to enable/disable cursor blinking problem.


There's an option called Navigate pages with a text cursor in Accessibility settings, you'll need to disable this option.

Go to Chrome Settings ​​→ Advanced → Accessibility, find the Navigate pages with a text cursor option, and disable it.
