- jessaustin 13y agoSo this means that there are a significant number of people "skilled" enough to right-click, but not skilled enough to view source. The mind boggles...
- FireBeyond 13y agoThe latest variations of this put the transparent JPG in the source code, then load in the image via JS with a lower Z layer. Now you move from "View Source", to "Developer Extension, watch assets, copy initial URL, paste, save".
- icebraining 13y agoNope, just Select All → View Source, which shows the current DOM state, at least on Firefox.
- andyhmltn 13y agoWell today I learned something new!
- skeletonjelly 13y agoUsed to weird me out that Chrome performs a new GET request for page source but I guess I'm used to it now.
- lesslaw 13y agoselect text an address bar, ctrl-c click somewhere else ctrl-v and yes, view-source is beyond most people
- jonknee 13y agoHow is that at all surprising? Right click is a really common thing for most non-Mac users. View source is something most people have only used by accident.
- ricardobeat 13y agowhen was the last time you used a mac? right click has been omnipresent for the past half decade.
- jonknee 13y agoI use a Mac every day. I also watch other people use Macs and not only do they not use a contextual menu, but they by and large don't use keyboard shortcuts either. HN users are a pretty small subset of computer users.
