For example the disabled LocalStorage alllowed me to discover a bug in Qvitter because the developer didn't check for the availability of that feature in one instance, where he checked for it everywhere else.
Given the number of "temporary bridges" and "emergency laws" that stand more time than they're supposed to, aiming at minimalism is very sane. One thing that should be done, but it is not always easy would be to warn the user that something is asking for that missing functionality that has been disabled, and offer to activate it (opt-in). In the Web browser, this will happen more and more, as every party want to get into your desktop or your device, and will use such tricks to do it surreptitiously. == hk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJUvZTyXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFQ0IyNkIyRTNDNzEyMTc2OUEzNEM4ODU0 ODA2QzM2M0ZDMTg5ODNEAAoJEEgGw2P8GJg9yM0P/RMB9owW3Eoy/a/ThsYB3nfn oUFMU+e/PFW9htIAQvxm5lk2S6+v5vFu0NZ6xBjkPx+cweXOOb2C9igk7Su/t3/k 5UO/FX3vsevB8hqiPbRYgpboEGECi+Pe25p/ardglXEiRDTNb0lI+ifR7ocqEreo fmHPOjexjQKX4Ku70Ma20Hnngr85elhEyd2+83j3oJ5duTTWf6Z3in3iTK7uXnEZ zUhXLRRF6r/gkclvllQ8DiIlz4uBmgUVMYuW3WBjrFbSGq0qnkHCTLNgVG34JyBR CPqEudr2XKqIL5jdUUmSzI0PqV6+CP959bAH2naLqOddOLEKjQz3s8m9JGLNqmNY 1aS6Re0CHtswjUS3DAppLX8CQ7SCSzFAn45U9rOctWnNPioGeADJHFwaGDAUqPH6 1frr8BriVZQ6IkCX5rq0VJMc767ETMK3UupRgBV8f3jsEFUI6rUH5wZiOU6zjNyd uHS8RG6UMB7rjdSpsrBpguGekOelKZZFkqNWHwBACpxtCgLqACt/y0NJymYk9llW S7JhkffYclVNA+LKDQfCLI0AdRSoi4m2j3T6ELMbgYoFKRJVsgKUse1VaEVCTiUa mjU30ctegb9YV9WdfYNqIZQmogF1BswpMKROHoPolWfzoBb6JTWXQXA3hOrrHNiF clZl+SpIFOoSCGHlP68D =c4ux -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
