From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It is annoying. Some possible solutions:
On desktop: Using Shift + ALT you often can overrule this and select text anyway.
On mobile: Using the reader mode or the Print preview often works. It does for me on this website.
The firefox reader mode button doesn't show up for me on that site. I wonder if its just a poor site or if they are intentionally trying to break it.
Could be both. You can enforce it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/activate-reader-view/
