This only works in popup windows. According to the guy who made this website [1] this is to stop cross-origin communication, which is quite interesting. But it also has the effect that if you force popup windows to appear in tabs rather than windows then you do indeed burn the feature with fire. And IMO it's worth doing anyway, because no one has the right to open a browser window on my computer except me. It's possible in FireFox by changing browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction to 0 in about:config [2].

- giancarlostoro 8y agoFireFox used to have an option to disallow pop ups to move themselves... I can't find that setting anymore, and I think Chrome used to as well, it still might. It's one of the first things I disable on my browsers due to some prank sites using this tactic for maximum trolling.
- bzbarsky 8y agoThe "dom.disable_window_move_resize" preference is still there. There doesn't seem to be UI for it, but it can certainly be set in about:config.
- badestrand 8y agoI wonder what could possibly be a use case why they would allow it and even built an API/interface for that.
