Well, because, in order to satisfy the most finicky of its users (myself included), VS Code offers no less than 6 styles for its cursor ('block', 'block-outline', 'line', 'line-thin', 'underline&

Paul was talking about a different extension, but anyway... The onclick event listener is the same thing Google does with the search results. Perform a search on Google and right-click a link, then you'll see the URL changes to the a G
