The rationale is preventing other apps, that have permission either explicitly or implicitly, from taking screenshots of pages you are viewing.

- moonka 9y agoI stand corrected. Still seems like a bad idea to do so when explicitly requested, but I can see why they would want to restrict screenshots in some way.
- daveheq 9y agoI guess I don't understand how Google restricting the user with hardware button presses from taking screenshots is required to fix an issue of other apps taking screenshots invisibly through software... this "fix" seems nonsensical and overly-restrictive to the user. If Google's Android really can't tell the difference between a physical user and a software app, there's something seriously wrong with Google or Android.
