@rseiler Nice, a bit of cookies love. I hope these big changes won't be a nightmare for v devs ^^
Even the context menu extensions control per site is nice. -

And more of "we assume our users are all idiots so let's break basic web functionality to 'protect' them from themselves"...
Starting today, Google says Chrome will block file downloads that take place via HTTP, when the user initiated the file download from a site loaded via HTTPS.
The Chrome fanbois are drooling all over it, as expected

Has anybody observed what happens when you try to add a mouse gesture? If setup is set to run as a pop-up, the drop-down menu is broken and blends with the rest of the menu making the gesture addition extremely difficult if not impossible. If setup is set to open as tab, everything is in order!

@Pathduck I agree with that decision.
If I'm on an HTTPS page, I don't want anything downloading from HTTP. I'm fine with insecurely downloading something over HTTP, but only if I explicitly ask for it.

Do you also see frame items when right clicking on any web page (just try it here on the forum)?

@potmeklecbohdan This is a known issue. VB-67562

@LonM Surely you're not incapable of looking at the target of a download link and then making a conscious decision whether to download it or not?
I just think it's condescending to just assume all users are incapable of making their own decisions.
I'm fine with insecurely downloading something over HTTP, but only if I explicitly ask for it.
That's what we're talking about, file downloads, not resources downloaded by the browser as part of the web page.
The main problem I have with it is that Google is slowly but surely imposing their will on how the internet works, by the power of a browser majority. In a couple of years they might force sites to use http/2, after that they will force their own protocols, and in the end users will be left without any control of how their own client works.

@Pathduck I'm fine with downloading something HTTP when I'm on an HTTP page.
If I'm on an HTTPS page I don't want to have to second-guess myself every time I click a download button.
I don't see it as being condescending, I see it as being helpful.

Shouldn't that be a case of warning instead of blocking?

@mossman a by-passable warning would suit me fine as well.
