#192There are already ways to force browsers to download using HTTP headers. The author says this is a "server-side solutions to front-end problem", okay. But anyways, when pages use this already, it OFTEN pisses me off, when I want to look at a PDF in browser, but the web app/page is forcing me to save it to disk and then re-open it in another app. What we _really_ need, that we _don't_ have a way to do right now -- is…
I moved to Chrome just to be able to see PDFs in browser. Lots of websites have info that way (restaurants are the worst) and I don't want to get it saved on my computer just to have to delete it!

#193"Right click and save as" is the last thing to go away imo.
There are a LOT of things that need to go away first (to name a few: crappy development, obligatory js to view content, AWFUL prefixes (-o-, -webkit-, -whatever-) and of course browsers that suck your RAM like there's no tomorrow (yes, I'm talking about firefox and chrom{e,ium})).
But again, that's just me. :)
