Shift+V no longer opening in background #501

Closed zacharydanger closed 9 years ago

zacharydanger commented 9 years ago

In Chrome 41.0.2272.43 beta (64-bit) on OS X, the "shift+v" and "v" keyboard shortcuts are behaving identically.

Hi @zacharydanger,

Yeah, that is a bummer.

I think Google is intentionally changing the behavior of generated events to prevent abuse. However this hurts legitimate uses.

I've reported the issue so we'll see what they say.

Ah. Good to know. Thanks.

I too have this issue :( Chrome 41.0.2272.76 (64-bit) @ Yosemite 10.10.2

I think this should be labeled as ‘Upstream’, and possibly closed. Chromium has marked this as WontFix, so it looks like this feature will never be heading back to Feedbag (or any other browser-based RSS reader) :disappointed:

Not acceptable. This IS a massive PITA since it changes the way I (and other) used to use Feedbin.

Zegnat commented 9 years ago

Not acceptable.

What is not acceptable?

Chromium made a change to stop websites from opening tabs in the background as it was used for advertising and other such things. In this they aligned their policy with other browsers, this trick has never worked in non-WebKit browsers. Of course you are free to, at any point, open a ticket for your favourite browser and ask them to allow this again.

Feedbin’s JavaScript code is completely correct though, and there is no bug in the code. It is completely up to “upstream” browser implementations.

Sounds like this is gone from Chrome for good based on the responses to the issue I filed.

I've created a Chrome extension to restore this functionality.

More about this on the blog.
