Fixed it via JS. You have to add this code to your head.

```
// For categories list
$(document).on('mouseover', 'td.category div.pull-left a', function() {
    // do it only once
    if ($(this).hasClass('link-fixed')) {
        return;
    }
    
    // do it only if there's subcategories
    if ($(this).parents('td.category').find('div.subcategories').length) {
        var link = $(this).prop('href');
        $(this).prop('href', link+'/none');
    }
    
    $(this).addClass('link-fixed');
});

// For dropdowns
$(document).on('click', 'ol.category-breadcrumb li', function() {
    // do it only once
    if ($(this).hasClass('links-fixed')) {
        return;
    }
    
    // do it only for first dropdown
    $(this).addClass('list-clicked');
    if (!$('ol.category-breadcrumb li').slice(0, 1).hasClass('list-clicked')) {
        $(this).removeClass('list-clicked');
        return;
    }
    $(this).removeClass('list-clicked');
    
    // you can't check subcategories from here, so doing it for all
    $(this).find('section.category-dropdown-menu div.cat a').each(function() {
        if (!$(this).hasClass('home')) {
            var link = $(this).prop('href');
            $(this).prop('href', link+'/none');
        }
    });
    
    $(this).addClass('links-fixed');
});

// For breadcrumbs when reading a topic
$(document).on('mouseover', '.title-wrapper .ember-view a', function() {
    // do it only once
    if ($(this).hasClass('link-fixed')) {
        return;
    }
    
    // do it only for first button
    $(this).addClass('list-clicked');
    if (!$('.title-wrapper .ember-view a').slice(0, 1).hasClass('list-clicked')) {
        $(this).removeClass('list-clicked');
        return;
    }
    $(this).removeClass('list-clicked');
    
    var link = $(this).prop('href');
    $(this).prop('href', link+'/none');
    
    $(this).addClass('link-fixed');
});

```

I don’t think this will work on phones. There’s probably no such events as “mouseover”.
