"Did you know that console logs can be styled using backgrounds? For even more variety, you can add images, using data-uris" Ha ha, oh my... Sooo many recruiting ads coming our way! [Edit: also the WebSocket inspector is really awesome. I wish I had that years ago!]

I immediately was thinking that, and some sort of scam/phishing attack.

  Data-uris don't make network requests.

    There's a slight possibility that you could construct an SVG that would load another resource, but it shouldn't (as in RFC 2119 "MUST NOT") be possible.

What's the point of spending time on that?? Some bugs have been open for a very long time that don't appear to have been fixed in this release [0]... but we can select a background color in the console????

  Making the console appearance customizable sounds like an easy starter project for onboarding someone. Your pet bug does not. The severity of a bug is far from the only thing which determines what gets worked on.

  The point is it's open source, so people will volunteer to work on what they want. Just because the bugs you cared about weren't worked on doesn't mean this work took any resources away that could have been applied to them.

    Yes, but presumably Moz with their $300M from Google, or whatever it is (pretty sure it's of that order) also surely employ a few programmers to squash bugs, so just waving your hand and saying "volunteer developers" doesn't quite answer the parent commenters dissatisfaction.

      And they so squash bugs? Yeah there def some old ones, but a priority was chosen for them and work continuous based on that.
- digitarald 7y ago
  Text input is a priority but also hard to align on is complex, potentially risky, work. Console log background was worked on by a contributor as its a good first bug.
