The worst is when it breaks web apps in really confusing, weird, and broken ways. Slack, for example. Pasting becomes a complete clusterfuck. Things paste in the wrong location, incompletely, etc. I have no idea how they manage to fuck up "paste in a text box"... Facebook Messenger also broke last time I used it where the tab would start using 100% CPU, but it's been a few years since I last used it, so don't know if that's still the case. Anyway, I really wish I could do this per website. I have it disabled because GitHub started doing weird and annoying shit when I copy/paste stuff from comments and I absolutely hate it. But ... then it breaks Slack :-/

> I have no idea how they manage to fuck up "paste in a text box"... For over 5 years Enter has been broken in YouTube's comment text fields. It inserts a new line but often won't move the cursor. Last year for a while they changed the text to black in the dark theme and it was impossible to write comments because the text fields simply never showed up.

  because they are too good for a text box. they use a div and fuckton of JavaScript to implement a full rich text editor and then pretend it's a textbox.
