Why are some websites like this?
Isn’t container isolation suppose to solve this problem?
Well, in this case I’m merely talking about the webpage not giving access to the right-click menu, as well as to shortcuts like middle-mouse-click and Ctrl+click, which would normally allow you to open parts of it in a new tab.
If a webpage were to actually check for cookies, to try to detect whether you’ve got two tabs of it open, then yeah, Container Tabs would be a solution for that, since it isolates the cookies.
The number of ways I’ve found to “win” against the modern internet over the years… My favorite is the trick of copying tables. In Firefox, if you hold Alt and drag, you can grab clean table data to copy paste into whatever spreadsheet you need. Take that, overly-complicated webpage!
I’ve always done this with any browser and pasted in Excel, Calc or Sheets and it has worked without Alt. What does alt do?
Sometimes the webpage will select a bunch of stuff outside the table as well as a bunch of extra lines and spaces that you have to rearrange.
Not all websites do it, but for the ones that do, this trick can save several minutes of fixing.
Omg, this is a life changer!
Theres also “Open As Tab” for when some idiot site wants to open a page in a chromeless floating window.
Did you just say, that popups are back? scream
