Which is reason #223,102 why I don't use Apple products.

I should've known Apple was to blame. 
Good that multiple devs can share one Mac though.

The advantage on Xamarin is that you can target multiple platform. But there is always some disadvantage...

Do not blame Xamarin - it is all about Apple... With Apple you have to pay to develop applications for iOS...

(More Chrome, so skip if you are bored)
I'm using the keyboard very intensively while I'm working. First of all - I'm old and used to it. It also quicker than switching hands between keyboard and mouse and back again...
Now Chrome decided to switch from [Backspace] to [ALT]+[Left Arrow] and I already broke the [Backspace] on my keyboard...
Until now it was "The big brother is watching you", now it is "The big brother is deciding for you"...
Had I told something about the evil deeds today already?

Backspace still works for me ...
Alt + left arrow also works so I might not have the latest greatest where they removed backspace?
Version: 51.0.2704.103 m
But does seem to be doing an update now so ...
I'll update if that update makes a difference
Edit: yep it's gone
Version 52.0.2743.116 m now and no more backspace, some stupid popup thingy comes to tell me to use alt + left arrow
Pfff

There's a strategy called voting with your feet: you get up and go to where things are more to your liking. There are other browsers available at the very reasonable price of free.

Why not Firefox? I do not touch Chrome.

For years Chrome was way better than FF. Now FF did a great comeback and it is not more true, but I got to used to Chrome...No more...

This.
I can't count the number of times I've tried to delete text somewhere on a form, and some genius decided to put real-time validation javascript on the page, buggered it up, and the text-box loses focus in favor of some control that doesn't accept backspace. Backspace gets bubbled up to the browser and boom, work lost.
Of course, removing it and remapping the shortcut to something else is not the way to fix the issue. It should been added as a configuration option, allowing any key or key combination to be bound to the shortcut, making everyone happy. Software that mandates the use of specific keys for specific actions with no option to change it are the worst kinds of software...

They didn't switch. Alt-L/R arrow has always been supported. But it seems they dropped Backspace in the latest update.

You can get Backspace back by installing this[^] extension.

I've another extension - easier to install and more reliable h
ttps: . I found it eliminates a number of other problems with Chrome.

A lesson from the almighty Google...
So today I gone to see some short movie I got (the link) via email and first time for years maybe I saw an advert running before the movie...
Went to check the add-blocker and found it disabled, so opened the settings page to re-enable, just to find it - enabled...
After some more checks I found that it is disabled only for YouTube, the only reason I installed it for the first place...
"Don't be evil." - only a pain in the ass...
