Two things I'm not sure the browser supports.
I don't see a way to have the middle button scroll when you click
outside a link with it, and the password manager will give me any
password it has stored without prompting for a master password, which
is alarming.
I'm confident Google has taken precautions to make sure you can't just
steal password data from a website, but I think I'd feel more
comfortable if they were encrypted with the hash of a master password,
either prompted for at startup, or at your option, stored somewhere
that not just everybody can find it. I'm thinking of shared computers.
It's one thing for someone to be able to log in as you from your own
computer, but another for them to get the general idea behind all your
passwords by, well, having a list of them all. PayPal comes to mind;
wouldn't be happy for that to be plainly visible from options. Storing
only the hash of master password and prompting for the original before
decrypting and showing the rest of the passwords would be nice, and
not that hard to implement. (I'm almost volunteering, but right now
I'm hoping to God they have a set of functions that just link
differently on Linux and Mac that will be able to call a message box
and a string prompt. Please Google, please have done that. That'd make
this whole open source thing make SENSE.)
I think in the perfect world, passwords would be hashed client side
and then sent to the server as unrecognizable crap, but if Google is
storing raw password data, I guess that's not the case.
Anyway, mouse wheel. That could either be really difficult to
implement or really easy, depending on if the code is basically
for (int i=0;i<link_count;i++) if (in_bounds(mouse.x,mouse.y))
linkid=i;
if (linkid)
{
...
}
In which case, I could just add an else {} which sets an additional
byte in their global structure I've been hearing about, and if that
byte or a bit in that byte is true, enable scrolling. (I'd also have
to store two shorts for X and Y positioning of original click, but
meh).
Figured I'd ask if those were already in and I missed them, or if
they're planned, before I start digging. Which will likely have a
large learning curve in itself.
Thanks.
