Browsers should provide text input recovery, at least short term. Even a 15-minute storage would be enough for the most common use-cases. For example, if I attempt to submit a form, but the website errors out, I should be able to reload the

I have no idea what you’re talking about. I didn’t “select anything to be bait”. I found an interesting behavior on a website and wanted to share it. What exactly is your problem?

If I understand “total cookie protection” in Firefox correctly, this shouldn’t even be possible. When the website makes a request to Google, the user’s Google cookie is not included in the request, so Google does not know which user it is.

OP here. I’m not outraged. I’m just sharing interesting observations.

> I have used Chrome with a personal and a work profile, both of them tied to different Google accounts. You guys have two Google accounts? I didn’t know that this was even possible.

Ok, when adding a new extension to the store. But “recommended extensions” get manually reviewed whenever they update.

The question is, is adhering to the HTML Standard (in other words, getting zero errors in the HTML validator) beneficial to websites? For example, does it make the job of web developers easier? Are there fewer user-reported issues in browse

The biggest websites are proof that you don’t need web accessibility to be successful either, but that doesn’t make it right.

> Then there is the <doctype> thing which may seem like a lot of bullshit, I don’t know how it now but years ago it did make a difference because if you didn’t have it browsers would go into a compatibility mode with old web pages.

Unless it’s 100% reliable or near 100% reliable, you’d still need manual testing. Right now, automatic accessibility testing can’t even detect most accessibility issues. So we haven’t even reached the stage where all issues are detected b
