@mayintoronto Gah. Can't take a screenshot from a private tab.
It says:
You are leaving infosec.exchange.
If you trust this link, click it to continue.
“Can't take a screenshot from a private tab.”
The browser has forced the screenshot tool shut. But this is *my* computer, and it responds to *my* decree!

@davep not being able to screenshot from a private tab seems like one of the best features. Huh. Never even thought of that.
When a “feature” stops the user from doing something innocuous and desirable (like taking a screenshot of a web page while logged out of the site), it stops being a feature and becomes a bug.

Thanks, oh device wrangling one!
See, it might look rather suspicious to anyone opening the link.

It's true. They can view all posts without an account.
But nevertheless, sooner or later they might realise that they need an account here anyway.

@mayintoronto walled garden, that is a term I need to make sure to include more often in my ramblings!
