Because an installed PWA is really just a web app running in a browser, there are some browser behaviors that we may not want in our app, if we're going for a more "native" feel.

We'll first disable the ability to select text in our app by setting the css user-select options to none.

Then, we'll disable the iOS long-press "callout" menu by setting -webkit-touch-callout to none.
