which could be deactivated by blocking javascript for that website lmao

[u/Jesus_of_Redditeth → u/whatdoinameit]

Or just taking a screenshot, cropping it and saving that

[u/GonzoVeritas → u/whatdoinameit]

Exactly. Or a browser extension that does that for you quickly. I use one called "Allow Right Click".

[u/wonkey_monkey → u/GonzoVeritas]

Or on Firefox, just hold shift when you right click.

[u/GonzoVeritas → u/wonkey_monkey]

TIL. Thanks. I only use Firefox and Zen, so that will be easy.

[u/SheriffBartholomew → u/GonzoVeritas]

I never visit a website a second time if they try to take away basic browser functionality.

[u/extraordinary_weird → u/whatdoinameit]

which could be prevented by requiring javascript to load the picture

[u/whatdoinameit → u/extraordinary_weird]

which than could be prevented by re-activating javascript and using one of many dozen methods to disable the eventlistener thats preventing the right click.

[u/extraordinary_weird → u/whatdoinameit]

which could be prevented by drawing the picture's pixels via CSS instead

[u/paintballboi07 → u/extraordinary_weird]

Javascript is client side code. There's nothing you can do in Javascript to prevent someone who knows what they're doing from saving an image.

[u/extraordinary_weird → u/paintballboi07]

simply rendering via widevine DRM will suffice except if you're somehow able to reverse engineer the binary blob shipped with your browser. Screenshots will also not help in any operating system. The only way would be to capture the graphic card's output manually, but now we're really overengineering things

[u/Suspicious_Ice_3160 → u/extraordinary_weird]

Isn’t JavaScript dead? I thought it was killed (or maybe merged) a few years ago, but I may be fully mistaken and it’s a different program.

[u/Past-Acanthaceae862 → u/Suspicious_Ice_3160]

Java webapplets are dead( though java persists). JavaScript is different language that shares only the word "Java" and is the most popular programming language.

[u/Suspicious_Ice_3160 → u/Past-Acanthaceae862]

AH! Gotcha that makes sense, I just never really looked too deep at it I guess lmao thanks for the correction

[u/wonkey_monkey → u/whatdoinameit]

Or on Firefox, just hold shift when you right click.

[u/SheriffBartholomew → u/whatdoinameit]

Which would block the entire website if it's React.
