I actually agree. I don’t even use them in my private code. I will look into removing them from my blog!
For a quick fix: `font-variant-ligatures: none;` on body or similar.
For users: paste the following in console
document.body.style.setProperty('font-variant-ligatures','none','important');
I use NoScript and only got them after enabling JS for the blog page
I have this as !important in a global userStyle for code, pre, kbd, samp elements.
