I've created a compilation of the "Skip To Main Content" images hosted on my web site (so there are no ads or anything when you view the images) - at the bottom of this post.
My Discoveries
1. I thought maybe this was only occurring on Brave browser but I have now seen it in MS Edge also.
2. I'm running Ubunut 22.04.4 LTS (maybe this only happens in browsers running on Linux)
3. This "feature" occurs when you've
a. scrolled a bit down a page
b. switch to another tab
c. return to the original page that you scrolled down a bit on.
d. only occurs if the target web site has the "skip to main content" HTML included.
Request
If you've ever seen this "feature" can you please post back and let me know?
I really despise this "feature".
It basically offers no help and I don't believe the front-end devs who implement it really understand what it is supposed to do. It's supposed to help, not require more button clicks.

It's all relative.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

I just came back to my computer expecting to find: an Arduino IDE session, six Excel spreadsheets, various web pages pointing to the local Python web server that was running in a VS Code session alongside the five web pages that I was working on, and all the rest just as I left them... Not unreasonable I think!
What I actually find is that the system has been rebooted, and hidden away in an information log I find that "Windows successfully installed the following update: 2024-04..." at 5/13/2024 02:07:39
Idiots!
And someone asked if MS bashing was allowed - in my mind it is obligatory.

It actually de-hibernates my computer, installs updates and then leaves it running just to waste electricity and annoy me ...
Or worse, de-hibernates my computer, tries to shut down to install updates but finds a app - normally an MS app - that won't close so it leaves it running having not updated until I get up in the morning

Well it's not like it doesn't give you warnings days ahead of time. Windows always warns me before it does something like that.

(obviously, it should not do that)
but, you should be able to reset your environment if something bad happens.

My tactic was to take the shell off and make them a little lighter and quicker. But instead they became more sluggish.

A snail without a shell is like a horse without a jockey.
