The browser implements the text selection behaviour, but how infuriating it is depends on how convoluted your page construction is.
On a simple page with no floats, overlaid elements, negative margins, absolute positioning, hidden stuff, and other css layout tomfoolery, it’s perfectly predictable. It’s only when designers do designer things does it start to break down.
A lot of these techniques aren't really used any more. We're old lol. Modern web design uses CSS grid, or at least Flexbox. I haven't seen a float or absolute positioning in years.

I know, but those techniques are more likely to cause selection weirdness than flexbox/etc, which is why I mention them specifically.
Yeah, I just feel like most of the people are comment little bit different kind of things then OP intended to ask for.
