I remember when Chrome first launched. It was such a beautiful product. The first major competitor to IE in years. Now, it's become the king it killed.

- soraminazuki 3y ago> The first major competitor to IE in years. You mean Firefox was.
- dev1ycan 3y agoChrome was beyond TERRIBLE compared to Firefox. Firefox: 1)Right click image 2)Save as Chrome: 1)Right click image 2)Can't save as because Google decided so, just like Apple's mentality. Imagine actually utilizing a browser where the maker decides you should not have access to basic features.
- zamadatix 3y agoI just tried this on Chrome from 2010 + current Chrome and both had "save image" when right clicking an image?
- kristopolous 3y agoThe person is talking about a css trick. You could avoid the "save as" coming up if you made the image the css background url to an empty square. However, Firefox was smart enough to not be tricked by that. That's the right move if you side with the consumer and the wrong if you side with the producer. Google is fundamentally highly elitist and that's a pretty easy framework to use if you want to guess their actions.
