Well, it sucks, because it screws things up when I browse reddit. I tend to click where https://www. is to replace it with old. and it selects part of it, and then either part of the [url]https://[/url] or part of the reddit. sections of the URL. Oh well. Guess I'm stuck with it.

There is a bit more  take on it where it's part of Google's plan to kill URLs and force people to use search to access everything (see also AMP). I personally consider seeing the full URL a vital part of a browser's UI but I already use Firefox so I won't have to deal with this until they inevitably decide to copy it next year

IE the parts that are entirely irrelevant to anyone that isn't Kheldarn or other weirdos who constantly re-type https://www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com by hand. If you go to any site that leads the domain with anything other than www, it shows the sub-domain title. (Like, you know that if sign up a reddit account then you can just tell it to always use old reddit?)

Ehh, I think plenty of normal people are confused by all the technical stuff in the address bar, so I wouldn't say "no gain to anyone". I'm not making any comments about whether the tradeoff is worth it or not.

Jippa posted:I was reading that this new update will kill ublock origin for good? Is that true? No, not yet. They just added manifest v3 to Canary (the alpha / testing branch of Chrome), which means it might go live in Chrome v80. But they're going to keep manifest v2 (what extensions use now) and v3 (the one that neuters adblock) both active at the same time. And then "v2 end of life to be determined in the future" which you should actually read as "when we think the mass audience has forgotten about the uproar and we've used financial support of Adblock Plus to get them moved to v3, so we can fight back by pitting users against each other and blame gorhil for being a bad stick in the mud who refused to adapt like ABP". In the meantime you have at least 6 months to try out other browsers and pick which one you like best. Klyith fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Nov 12, 2019 |

I looked this WebContents occlusion poo poo up some more. These assholes over at Google want to hook into all running processes in the session, just to figure out if a window moved? gently caress that poo poo. Edgium was so nice, I guess not.

I guess I'm missing something about why everyone is bent out of shape on this. It's been possible to detect if user has window focused or visible for many years, this just gives a better API for it.

I suppose in the case of Edgium, I can just run it permanently inside WDAG to wall it off, but I guess eventually I'll just switch to Firefox, until they do something stupid, too. --edit: Here's a quote from the Windows SDK documentation, that's probably relevant besides the principle of not wanting Chrome to snoop around among all processes: quote:Hooks tend to slow down the system because they increase the amount of processing the system must perform for each message. You should install a hook only when necessary, and remove it as soon as possible. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Nov 17, 2019 |

For the rest of the thread, this doc is what Combat Pretzel is going on about. It isn't too technical for an average nerd to grasp. But the tl;dr is basically "oh the simple API that MS made for getting occlusion status isn't precise enough for us, we're gonna do it the hard way" and then lists a whole bunch of giant downsides of the hard way  However: Combat Pretzel posted:--edit: Still, it seems like a dumb and fragile way to do things. You can't trust windows programs to tell you sane things about themselves, which is probably why it broke on terminal server. Even after their effort to discard stuff like complex or transparent windows, some program said that it had the entire screen region when it didn't so chrome thought it was occluded.

It's funny that I switched into my browser to take a break from developing a library for python that uses the exact same windows APIs that are talked about in that document. (I'm so tired of the limitations of AutoIT and AHK) Hooking windows events is super common for many applications to do. It's not some shady weird thing. The APIs talked about in that document aren't peeking around into other processes. These are events that are broadcast to the whole system about the size and position of all the windows on the desktop. Of course, it's true that if you do it wrong like hooking from EVENT_MIN to EVENT_MAX, not throttling/debouncing, and running CPU-intensive callbacks on events it can really impact your CPU load...but since it seems like the whole purpose of that document is to improve performance I would assume they won't do it wrong. edit: I'm really struck by how much all of the thinking in that document are the same sort of things I've had to think about over the past many months working on this library of mine.

So my keyboard shortcuts for Atom and Google Play Music ran into a conflict, in as much as I wanted to trash my GPM shortcuts and use those for Atom. Go into Chrome to unbind them in the keyboard shortcuts section of the extensions window.. except Google yanked the ability to set keyboard shortcuts for GPM from the list, presumably in anticipating of killing it entirely in favor of YouTube Music. So I guess I need to entirely uninstall Chrome in order to unbind those keyboard shortcuts.
