The reason this change was originally made is that computer user interfaces typically do a sort of “lock” when you click and drag on something. Giving hover feedback to indicate what a click would do when you are in the process of dragging something over that item you could click doesn’t make sense. That’s what drove the change.

The fact that this is now different from other browsers is unfortunate.

It’s too bad that it’s hard to make a website that will work properly. If I am dragging some text over a link, the cursor should not change into the “hand” cursor nor should the link light up with its hover feedback.
