I just saw this "feature" show up on stackoverflow (snapshot[^]).
I'm running the Brave browser (chrome-based) and this is a useless feature that is implemented on the server side (in the web page.
Have You Ever Seen This?
Have you ever seen this "feature"? It is very odd.
i'm probably going to switch from Brave soon, because it is so annoying and the only browser I've seen it appear in so far.

Yes the feature is very odd and the screenshot is help.
See the top of the web page in the snapshot where it has a rectangle overlaid on the page and says, "Skip to main content"?? That is the odd feature that only shows up in Brave.
I've just switched to MS Edge on my linux box.

Also, I see why the original snapshot was annoying. It included the imgur crap around it.
Sorry about that. I updated it so it is just the image. Thanks

In the infancy of "software industry" it was common to "release and then wait for customer to provide feedback" AKA "let the customer spent his money testing OUR product".
My favorite "library" just totally rebuild its forum format...

experienced similar
with "new coke " many years back...then I switched to beer...

Every fall and spring the HVAC system for our building spends a couple of months in a mechanical tizzy as it oscillates back and forth between heating and cooling. There are a remarkable number of systems (that don't talk to each other), each of which can be in a heating or cooling mode. Our weather has been somewhat warm the last few days, so of course it's stifling in here right now. The temperature inside is close to 80°F and the humidity is high.

Once it gets that hot I can't even think.
Our company's A/C went out a number of years ago and it got to be 83 or so and you just want to sit and sweat. It's really terrible.
Hope you get it resolved soon.

The fun part is our lab with our build servers. The lab contains a lot of equipment that generates heat. I've come into the lab on Monday morning after a hot weekend and the temperature is over 100°F and most of the machines have turned themselves off with over-temperature alarms. We did have one ancient Intel server box that didn't have temperature sensors that would stay running, but it's long decommissioned.

I've experienced (been tortured with) the opposite; having to write code while sitting in the server room which was about 60 F. I was literally an iceberg pecking at the keys writing code, trying to get done fast so I could finally go back to my cubicle.
I was being trained by a consultant while at a large company and for some reason the server room was the only location big enough to house both of us at the same time. I guess no one wanted to hear him training me or something??
Anyways, I think it was also for the "torture" component of the situation in an effort for BigCo and BigManager to "send the message" that they could make my life terrible if they wanted to.

I briefly "consulted" in a cold office building in particular "Sears Tower" before it was renamed "Willis Tower". I utilized programming gloves id est the tips cut off. The project itself was a complete failure. A Sears repair person upon a visit to my apartment to repair the HVAC some years subsequent I inquired was he utilizing the project code on his lap top. He explained no the data it transmitted to central office simply disappeared. I am not surprised. A weaker bunch of "consultants" was hard to imagine. I took it upon myself to fix many bugs in my supervisor's code. One could see she was not happy about it but she did not reprimand me. However put a mouse in her hand and place her in front of a game and she became a terror. Also she was not happy I did not accept her advances.

I had a similar experience at a customer site. I spent a week in a server room that was freezing cold. The workstation I was using had me sitting on top of a massive floor vent generating gale force winds.
I ended up with a massive sinus infection. Maybe causal from the location, maybe not.
I think security standards today would have required my host to sit next to me the whole time.

It's a really terrible experience, that people don't understand it who haven't gone through it.

The same thing happened to us a couple of years ago during a heat wave, it was 94°F in the office, we left a bit early that day.
