HTML/CSS/JS "solutions" only sound nice until someone fucks you over
with XSS.

The safest way is to disable mouse buttons completely in Xorg (via
xorg.conf/xinput).

Additionally, drag and drop can be "disabled" in GTK by setting a
dnd-drag-threshold ≥ screen size.

For the mouse cursor, I made a simple "semi-transparent circle" cursor
similar to the one you can enable in Android – it's not "mouse-y" (so
people don't go "ew, a PC"), yet it helps on more shoddy touchscreens.
