I strongly advise against this style of justification:

  text-align: justify;
  text-justify: inter-character;
Justification is typically only particularly suitable for fairly narrow columns, combined with hyphenation. And inter-character justification is… hazardous, only to be entered into with substantial caution.

Sometimes layouts and what occurs to the inline-end [right] of the layout can also justify justification

But unless one of these conditions is true, I recommend against any form of justification, especially inter-character.

Another bit of CSS that I would like removed is the `html { cursor: default; }`. Apps can do that so that chrome uses the default cursor (and restore it to auto in content areas), but content websites shouldn’t do that. I want to see the usual I-beam when I’m hovering over text.
