Disable Chrome for Android text selection popup

Question

I want to hide the Chrome for Android text selection popup that is shown if the user selects any text, such that the default text option popup (attached screenshot) does not appear.

Is there anyway to do so using javascript, without removing the text-selection feature as a whole?

you can use css , like this , try it :)

user-select: none;

.disable-selection{
    -moz-user-select:none;
    -ms-user-select:none;
    -webkit-user-select:none;
}

<p class="disable-selection">can't select this</p>

<p>can select this</p>

This disables the text select. But there are situations where the user wants to select the text (inside a textarea), but the Android popup covers essential buttons of a toolbar, for instance. So the text needs to stay selectable. – Titanothere
