Obligatory dogpile, but I'm hoping for the day you can disable Ctrl-Q to prevent accidentally closing the browser with a single keystroke. It's impossible to do on Linux.
Yeah Chrome's "hold to quit" feature is genius. I wish VSCode had it too.

#12If you're like me, and read the comments first, this change is about giving feedback on the scrollbar for a search. In other words, when you search for something, the scrollbar will give an idea how many results there are, and where on the page rhey are located.
On another note, the comment uses IntelliJ as an example. Wow, that was 17 years ago! Happy to see my favorite editor be around for so long.

#13Not to get too greedy, but maybe do the 21 year old “Use native context menus on Mac OS” next? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34572
Why is jira.mozilla.com private?

I'm on mac, but I used to have the same problem also in other apps: I use a system wide app that makes you long press cmd-Q to quit any app (with an allow/block list): "SlowQuitApp". Just in case you never thought to try to find something similar (assuming ctrl-q is a common shortcut in linux, I forgot)

On Fedora Chrome disables Ctrl+Q and Chrome can only be closed by going through the menu. Maybe Chromium implements it too, then you could find out the trick in the source.

That has bit me so many times. Especially since Q is right next to W. Trying to close a tab with Ctrl-W and accidentally hit Q :(

It's partially fixed now, it'll show the "Quit and Close Tabs" dialogue now if you check "Warn you when quitting the browser" in the preferences.

#18I'd look for a ticket about the poor contrast of matches, either green or magenta.
