Remind me again why we allow browsers to override OS copy commands?
- userbinator 10y agoBecause the whole Web movement is trying to make browsers into the OS.
- Cthulhu_ 10y agoAlready done; see Chrome OS, WebOS, Firefox OS, probably others.
- lohengramm 10y agoI got you, but those are actual operating systems. Regular browsers should keep being regular browsers, limits respected... This clipboard thing remembers me of the webrtc functionality that enable browsers to scan my network without asking me.
