The bubonic plague is better than Facebook.
But since everybody else has bubonic plague, it's clearly what I need to get as well. How else will I keep in touch with my grandmother?

Only if I can get one where I'm sure that every message it emits is being properly filtered by a huge unanswerable corporation for quality and research purposes.

Well, then you are SOL. Edison never perfected his machine to allow you to talk to the dead, I am sure that would have been one of his features.

It's all good, looks like Andy has me covered.

Was that thing the inspiration for how Bumblebee got his voice back in the Transformers movies?

Decided to give Vivaldi a whirl. The setup for how I like my tabs and stuff was nice.
But now I feel like blakey because I'm going to complain about the maximize button. I middle clicked it expecting it to maximize vertically but it fully maximized.
I'm not sure that I can continue this experiemnt.

@boomzilla Hmm...ok, I can just have it use a native window. Though chrome is able to not use a native window and also get it right.

Wat. Since when does middle-clicking a Maximize button (hell, any of the standard window decorations) do anything at all?
The only reason middle-clicking (the title bar, but it seems to hook the rest of the window widgets too) does anything on my machine is because I have DisplayFusion....

Since forever?

Oh, you're on Windows? That's different.

Can I claim a @Blakeyrat ticket for mind reading powers now?

@Tsaukpaetra One thing I also say is don't make implicit assumptions. You assumed Boomzilla was talking about Windows (God knows why; he's always on about Linux here), which I would never do.

is don't make implicit assumptions
Which is arguably nearly impossible without detailed interrogations, which are probably an even bigger to discourse than assuming a common consumer operating system (fact check: can anyone confirm that middle-clicking the maximize button on a Mac or, hell, even a Chromebook behaves in this manner?) was being used.
This is why I asked the question, and got an answer (albeit cryptic, but it at least provided clarification on the now-known-incorrect assumption).

And I wouldn't use this as an excuse to go on a rage about not reading people's minds and being deliberately obtuse about giving information that should-not-have-been-assumed-but-was-not-readily-supplied-arbitrarily.

@cartman82 chrome and firefox both, for the last 2 years i guess. there's a chrome://something URL that basically navigates you to a page which is the chrome browser window ui, so you get chrome ui displayed in your chrome as a page, and you can enter the chrome ui url into the nested ui and you get chrome ui displayed in your chrome ui that is displayed in your chrome... and you can do that ad infinitum.
works/worked with firefox too, both tried about 2 years ago. can't remember/find the URL now, though.

So it's 1.0 now, apparently. Yay, cool, I guess... If I were a regular Joe maybe I'd use it as a primary browser, but it has so many little annoying broken things still. For example:
https://jsfiddle.net/92wzh8v2/
Run the code and try hitting Ctrl+S in any other browser. Now try Vivaldi. Oh, you got the save dialog to open? Yeah. I also had it go back when typing text into some inputs and hitting Backspace. I think it was here actually. Editable
div
s confuse it I guess. HEY GUISE LET'S WRITE A BROWSER IN HTML+JS, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? Oh, I don't know, maybe events from the sites start bubbling up to the browser and fuck it all up? Ugh.It's a damned shame, too. It has some nice features I sorely missed since I moved off Opera 12. Why the fuck didn't you use fucking Qt, guys? Many of you are ex-Opera employees, that's what you used there, you know that shit. And if you wanted fancy interface instead of OS controls, for whatever stupid reason, there's fucking QtQuick now, go to town!
Everything's a phone. And apparently, everything's a webapp now, too. All hail the or something, I give up.
Edit: Oh, ok, JSFiddle onebox is cool, just go to result tab and it works!
INB4 XSS...

Since it's both a browser and made using JS - it'll be version 5 by next week.

Save dialog doesn't appear for me on firefox. Is that supposed to happen? Why would I want random web pages to fuck up my browser's shortcuts?
-
@bb36e The matter of whether sites should do that or not is a different matter, the point is that no other browsers do it, and I buttume that's according to spec, meaning some sites use that, cloud9 code editor for example. As a consequence it's damned near unusable for me in Vivaldi.
I also got it mess up on hitting backspace as I said above, and that one is indisputably wrong, if I'm editing text it shouldn't navigate. I couldn't create a 100% reliable repro though so that's the example I went with.

@bb36e I'd be pretty upset if C-x C-p on my SSH client opened a print dialog instead of autocompleting keywords.
