I often can't do it either, lol. Usually I just use MDN, but sometimes I end up in the spec for whatever reason and damn it, it can be dense, lol. The newer stuff is often better, tbf.
I almost clicked the link for the "in-depth discussions", but decided it was probably for the best not to 😂
That is an insane amount of links. I actually find that distracting to read. As someone who does a lot of technical writing I tend to use them sparingly then add a link at the bottom of the section to what's relevant.

What's your ideal solution to this problem?
But links back to the thing I'm actively reading are confusing at best.
One line of CSS, immediate better UX
