Just tested with Firefox on Android (Moto E4 phone). Firefox did not block taking a screenshot of this thread. Perhaps you may wish to test Firefox yourself to see if it better obey's you than Chrome does.
- gentleman11 7y agoFirefox on iOS also works
- dredmorbius 7y agoThe problem simply should not exist.
- pwg 7y agoAgreed. But sadly it does, and while it does the options available are try something else or do without. In this case you can try Firefox for Android on your phone to see if it behaves better than Chrome.
- dredmorbius 7y agoThe point really isn't to solve my personal inconvenience of a problem that should not exist. It's to point out the problem that shouldn't exist, its root cause, and only one very minor, mundane, and utterly ridiculous consequence. Of a problem that should not exist. At all. For any reason. But thank you regardless, your heart at least is in the right place.
- jasonlotito 7y agoSo going back to who you were originally replying to that spawned this little thread and trying to tie this all together because I’m lost with what you are trying to say. What is this problem that shouldn’t exist, this root cause? And in which scenario does it go away: with the status quo laws or with their removal? And why would the scenario remove that root cause problem?
