🐛(frontend) link not clickable and flickering firefox

The link in the read mode was not clickable anymore,
it was due to a attempt to not display the cursor
of anonymous users.
We changes the way to do it by rendering our own cursor,
when a user is anonymous we don't render the cursor.
By rendering our own cursor we fixed another problem,
the cursor was flickering when the user was typing
at the end of the line on the firefox browser.
