Confirmation dialog shown when opening a link
As of today's git master build, I notice that every link in a chat that I click
on opens a confirmation dialog. This is wrong on multiple levels:
- Confirmation dialogs are generally annoying
- Confirmation dialogs for commonly-performed actions like links become extra
annoying
- Confirmation dialogs for actions that are not actually inherently dangerous
become super duper annoying
- The buttons on the dialog are "Yes" and "No" which is always wrong; these
would need to be descriptive and tailored to the event being performed
- Clicking "Yes" doesn't even seem to open the link; it's just broken (probably
a different bug, but hopefully fixed automatically by reverting the change to
introduce this dialog, as opening links worked for me before the change)
I recommend simply reverting this change in its entirety.
