>Server sends an image with Content-Disposition "attachment">Browser refuses to let you display it, forces you to "Save As">Server sends a PDF with Content-Disposition "attachment">Browser refuses to let you save it, insists on opening it in tabWhy do web browsers insist on not letting you do what *you* want with your data?
>save as pdf from http server>i cant let you do that, you are in danger, it's a dangerous filemental illness
>>107555525Mass market browsers need to accommodate people who barely know how to use their computer at all. A significant fraction of users probably have no idea how to save an image if it doesn't automatically save when they click a download link, so if the browser ignored "attachment" and opened it inline then these users would have to resort to taking a picture of it with their phone instead.I'm assuming something different but similar is true for PDFs. Maybe a bunch of people have no PDF reader installed, so if it doesn't show inline they just keep clicking and re-downloading it until giving up. Something like that.It'll be based on user research, i.e. recruiting members of the public into focus groups and watching as they try to use the browser.
>>107555525that's why I use this firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-in-browser/
>>107555525works on my browser
>>107556855Louis Rossman already covered this. Stop playing by other people’s rules and putting up with assholes. If you need to install a workaround or extension for basic functionality, you are doing it wrong and instead you should never use their service.
>>107557112>NO!! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THAT!! I FORBID IT!! IT OFFENDS MY BASEMENT LOSER IDEOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES!!What are you going to do about it, faggot? How are you going to stop me?
>>107557137> I will continue to let myself be raped instead of finding someone who treats me right
>>107557137>What are you going to do about itI'm going to laugh at you forever suffering in your self made hell.Now post urls that supposedly make your browser break so I can laugh at you even harder since mine will just work with 0 extensions.
>>107557142What are you going to do about it, faggot? Huh? Let me know how pissed-off raging mad you are that you can't stop me from doing whatever I want.
>>107557152>I-I'm laughing!!LMAONope, you're shitting blood with rage because you can't control what other people do. You NEED people to use their computers like you use yours, and you can't make them do it because you're an impotent, weak loser who will also probably never reproduce.
>>107557164>probablyas opposed to you for whom there's no doubt that you won't reproduce since you prefer taking it up your ass?
>>107557156>i actually like being raped by Tyrone and Ramesh, that makes you real mad huh lil donnie?
>Why do web browsers insist on not letting you do what *you* want with your data?>No, I will not switch browsers, you're real mad now huh?
>>107557172>he admits itLMAOweak little basement faggot threw his life away on browser wars hahapoor pathetic virgin who thinks the exe he clicked makes up for being a failure as a man
>>107557198>exenobody uses windows anymore, unc
note that the soipedo is arguing against a premise that doesn’t exist. no one asked him to switch browsers, it was simply stated that you should not reward cancerous sites with your traffic. for some reason this has really upset them.
>>107557205oh no, it's a hobbyist
>>107557214You literally sperged out because people were overriding poor site controls with addons. You want to control how people use software and you can't, so now you're shitting blood.
>>107557112>Louis (((Rossman)))lol>Stop playing by other people’s rules and putting up with assholes. That's exactly what I do. This extension gives me back control over what to do with a file the server wants me to download. Instead of depriving myself of something for some stupid ideological reason that the content provider won't even notice, I simply disobey their request.
>>107557309How come my hobbyist browser lets me do what I want?
>>107557337>modifying your browserYou are NOT allowed to do that. You CAN'T. We've been OVER this. Louis Rossman **already covered this**. You have to STOP because my eceleb said so.
>>107557340My browser did the right thing from the start so I never had to modify it.
>>107557350Good, use the binary you are provided. You aren't permitted to modify the user experience, goyim. You will accept only the content offered you.
>>107557370I compiled that browser myself though?
>>107557374You aren't permitted to do that. Louis Rossman already covered this. You're doing it wrong and you should not be using their service.
How many loads up your ass does it take for you to become this mad?
>>107557393Why ARE you so mad that people smarter than you can control what they do with their browsers?
>>107557494Why did you make this thread?
>>107557516I didn't, but I want to know why you're having a panic attack that people can modify their browsers and access content when sites try to restrict it.Do you work for Mozilla? Google?
>>107557526>>107557516
>>107557631>mindbrokenKeep being a goyim I guess then. Never ever change anything about your software, you aren't allowed to do that.
>>107557639My browser was made by neither google nor mozilla, but sure, I'm the mindbroken one here.
>>107555525in my dreams i control a 100 TB/second botnet that floods every annoying website with the word "nigger" also every faggot nigger webshitter is lynched to death
>>107557660You're literally having panic attacks because people customize their browsing experience you don't want them to do it. You are completely mindbroken.
>>107557667You're literally using mozilla and/or google software, you're the mindbroken one here.
>>107557678See? You're mentally ill. You have some insane mindbroken tribal allegiance/aversion to browsers and you're hyperventilating because people do things differently. You NEED them to change, but they won't, and that drives you to insanity. What broke you like this? What made your life so empty that this is a religious crusade for you? And how do you feel being completely impotent to actually accomplish anything?
>>107557678unless you're using safari, your browser is made by google or mozillausing a fork is even worse than installing extensions, because you rely on the maintainers to provide timely upstream updates.plus the maintainers have a lot more power to modify everything, so you need to trust them a lot more than an extension developer.
>>107557714Doesn't matter what I use, I'm not paid to shill it here.
>>107557860I didn't ask
>>107557860You're still in the thread, though. You're so insecure you need your super secret special custom browser validated, because it's the only thing approaching a "personality" you can lay claim to, and no one cares. That's just so sad.
>>107558084It's not secret, everyone intelligent is using it, you're just a braindead cattle projecting onto others.
>>107555525Because browsers are user hostile. They still don't provide basic controls for things like cookies and storage and enforce bizarre defaults that are too permissive or just delete everything after 30 days of inactivity. It's an unwinnable shit show honestly. The best you can do is write more garbage extensions.
>>107558110My browser doesn't have this problem.
>>107558097Nobody *cares*. That's how mindbroken you are. You need validation for something that doesn't matter, and it's got you glued to this thread permanently because you have nothing else to live for. Wake up and stop ruining your life this way, man. You only get one.
>>107557313>>107557329No one is trying to control which software you use. You are rewarding bad actors with your time and traffic.Rather than refusing to deal with the bad actors, you look for workarounds and copes. You are part of the problem
Reminds me mozilla was stupid for removing saving pages as PDFs for mobile
>>107558301>You are rewarding bad actorsYou're an idiot wasting your life on this irrelevant garbage.Holy shit dude, literally leave the basement. You are a fucking paranoid schizophrenic. The world is not full of malevolent "bad actors" trying to predate you. Goddamn, you miserable scared little wimp.
>>107555525Because browns constantly prey on tech illiterate corporate folk by lacing PDFs and csvs with ransomware.
>>107558744>takes the phrase “bad actor” to its most pedantic sense so xir can ad hom and strawman yep. the wojakwebsite is definitely more your speed. answer me this simple question: do the websites who do this have the users’ interest at heart?if the answer is no, they’re a bad actor. simple as.
>>107558794Dude, **leave the basement**. You're literally going insane. Not a shitpost buzzword, you are *damaging your mental health*You are not surrounded by "bad actors". The world is not a bunch of vampires trying to ruin you with their Evil Web Browser. You aren't a "freedom fighter". You aren't saving the country or "the race" from the jews or the billionaires or the chuds or the trannies or whatever insane neurotic bogeyman you created that keeps you hiding from the sun.Goddamn, dude. How the fuck are people like you created? Seriously, why do you never answer that question when it's posed to you? Because I imagine you get it a lot. What on earth made you this broken? I want to know what happened in your short uneventful life that fucked you up this badly that you now can't think like a normal rational human being.
>>107558872>chatgpt response
>>107558894Nice buzzphrase>I can no longer articulate any defense for my irrational behavior but my wounded ego needs constant stimulusThere are probably easier ways to avoid doing this to yourself.
