What's wrong with the page? I can't select the address to copy & paste it into maps.

Please don't break the web.

Browsers should come with an option to ignore `user-select` rules.

It's worse than that, they're using some lame WordPress plugin called wp-content-copy-protector to hijack shorcuts to copy or view source as well. Really hostile and yet ridiculously easy to bypass.

Yes I am, you poor deluded soul, yes I am. There's absolutely no way for you to control what happens to the content once it has left your server. And using such tricks is a huge red flag about the professionalism of the site makers.
