I wish more web developers would know about <a>-tags in HTML.
I've been encountering more and more sites where basic stuff like cmd+click doesn't work because they used divs + onClick handlers instead.

Goodbye innerHTML, hello setHTML:
document.body.setHTML(`<h1>Hello my name is <img src="x" onclick="alert('XSS')">`);

Are divs with onClick even tab-selectable?

Okay, I still haven't got this working so maybe we can figure this out together...
I've set the Steam Deck touchscreen mode to Touch API Pass-through in Steamworks.
Now the game does register my touch like a touchscreen but it doesn't click! It highlights the buttons but doesn't run OnClick.

My opinion is that there should be one big button labeled "opt out" and when you click it it should opt you out. Just in general.
