  16.     // AO3 menu seems to be built with Bootstrap JS, based on existance of data-* attributes
  17.     // AO3 has CSS (#header .dropdown:hover .menu {display: block}) to make dropdown-on-hover work, but CSS override meant clicking wouldn't show menu anymore either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  18.     // hack inspired by this comment: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19191435/22187458
  19.     // this combo (mouse-in and mouse-out both hide the dropdown and reset the Bootstrap class) gives the most predictable experience if the pointer moves back and forth across all menu entries without clicking anywhere

  25.         // when mouse away, dropdown still closes -> reset the Bootstrap class so next click opens dropdown again
