- artursapek 14y agoI just tried it in Chrome. View > hover over Encoding. Move mouse down over Developer and onto the Encoding submenu. There's a definite delay, although it's much shorter than Amazon's. Move the mouse over Developer in the other direction (down and to the left), and there's no delay. I never appreciated this, yet it affects me many times a day. Really thoughtful UX design.
