The trick is `* {display:block;}`. Having learned that, I wondered whether https://secretgeek.github.io/html_wysiwyg/html.html used the same trick. So I opened up the page and Ctrl+F'ed for "display:". Nothing came up! Back to https://pranavg.me/ and Ctrl+F'ed for "display". Nothing came up!
Apparently, at least on Chrome, Ctrl+F will not find text inside a <style> block, no matter whether it's displayed or not.
Ctrl+F works even to find text inside the displayed <head> and <title> elements, but not inside the displayed <style> element. What could be the browser-writer's rationale for this? And are there any other HTML elements that "suppress searching" like this?

Curious.
Interesting enough, document.body.innerText does contain the style sheet contents, so the browser does consider it visible text in some sense.

But on Lynx, it's rendered as only a plain page without all the CSS style bits to make it quine.
