skip to main content, browser feature?
-
NOTE: fixed link Have any of you noticed this "skip to main content" feature in your browser shown in this snapshot[^].? I absolutely hate it. I'm running Brave (chrome-based) and the latest release includes this so that it can help you get to the main content, but it does not work properly and it's just something else annoying that you have to click so you can see the content. It makes no sense at all. It's a Genius-Feature, by half! On the example page above it moves me to the first sentence of the article, but I was already sitting on the first sentence of the article. I've tried to discover how to turn it off but it looks like there is no way to turn it off. I seriously can't believe this is a "feature". This is the functional equivalent of the <blink> tag. Remember that gem?

The link seems to show something different.

What version of Brave are you using, what platform? I'm tapping this into Brave 1.65.122 on Android and I use Brave* on Ubuntu as my main desktop browser. I've never seen the thing you describe. * can't look it up right now, whatever the latest stable release is on Ubuntu 22.04LTS. [edit] Home now, Brave is 1.65.123 on desktop. [/edit]

Are you sure it's the browser, not the page content? Use 'view source', or dev tools 'inspect' to look at the popup.

It is the page content but it only shows up in Brave I hope this isn’t a feature that starts showing up
mode:tinfoil-helmet M$ site... "foreign" browser? </mode> If it really pees you off, start noting what sites it happens on. There might be a pattern...

The odd thing is that, now that I've talked about it...it doesn't even happen on that original site any more. I can't figure out why it happens sometimes and not others. It's an odd feature that has been around for a long time but I've only seen it recently on two sites: 1) the microsoft site 2) oreilly.com - digital book site Very odd.
