interactivityLimited availability

The interactivity: inert CSS declaration makes an element and its descendants inert, like when using the inert HTML attribute. Inert elements can't be focused or clicked, their text can't be selected or found using the browser's find-in-page feature.

Not yet supported in all major browsers — check the table and provide a fallback.
