Comment:

 Chrome apparently does not like hiding an interactive element with `text-
 indent`, which is probably a good thing. The browser behavior for these
 links might have changed since 2020, but I can reproduce it back to
 WordPress 5.5.

 #47759 removed the link from the `install.php` and `setup-config.php`
 screens. I would prefer to remove the similar links from additional pages
 that use the `install` stylesheet.
 - `wp-admin/upgrade.php`
 - `wp-admin/maint/repair.php`
 - `wp-admin/install.php`: Where it checks whether PHP is running, the page
 would not have a stylesheet, and I think the entire paragraph could be
 removed. Or if the link is worth keeping there, the `id` could be removed
 to avoid confusion.

 (Another option I considered was to set the link to `display: block` with
 width and height at 100%, but then Chrome would only show a `box-shadow`
 on the bottom and Firefox would not show any focus indicator.)
