It seems like drag-and-drop is out of fashion. I think big reason is that it really cannot be done well on touch-screen devices and touchpads. I don't really complain, because I have always found d&d rather impractical (and it's also terrible for accessibility); unfortunately, there are some applications that still rely on it a lot.

How to move cards on a Kanban (say Trello) without drag and drop?

In Trello, on a card:

Click the "Edit" menu > "move" > select board, column, position.

Not as convenient as drag and drop, but it's possible to do.

Select card by clicking, moving it to the destination by clicking to some other specific place.

Advantage of this to d&d is that you can navigate around during the process. You can easily scroll the screen if it's too large. You can for example select a different card. You can switch to different window and do something there.

They just block it by user agent, if you spoof it, everything is working well.

I there a plugin to spoof the UA for certain sites only? Edit: it doesn't work.

There is also an add-on just for Skype: https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/firefox-web-skyp...

I use it, instead of different methods, because it's just a few clicks away and for me it's one of the top results for "firefox skype".

At this rate, how long until Firefox does a "Like Chrome" in its UA?

Mozilla is developing an add-on called Go Faster that uses WebCompat data to adjust settings in Firefox for compatibility on poorly tested sites.

While we're on Chrome bugs am I the only person in the world running into this bug in Chrome that makes it DOS the entire machine? You can repo on an NVidia MacBook Pro. Go to stackoverflow, try to make a new code snippet it (click the snippet button in the toolbar), then try typing in the snippet (hold a letter key and watch it repeat). You should notice some bug related to drop shadows ends up DOSing the GPU and the entire system runs slow. The bug has existed since around June. They claim to be trying to fix it, or rather ship the fix that already exists but needs testing, but I'm just surprised I seem to be the only person who runs into the issue. (The subset of people who write snippets on stackoverflow on an NVidia MacBook Pro). No idea what other sites are affected. If more sites are affected that would raise the priority for fixing. If most people are not affected then it's reasonable it's not a high priority.

I switched to Firefox after they stopped caring about usability issues (like right clicking without releasing left mouse button deselects the text since v fifty-something on windows), the difficulties they created for ad blockers, the account integration fiasco, and so on.

Firefox synchronises as much personal data of your activity on there servers as they possibly can, and you don’t even know they are doing it.

> if an issue doesn't affect Google, it will likely be deprioritized a lot. And in Firefox ? someone still needs to prioritize issues, and issues affecting more people will get more attention in both browsers. As an immigrant struggling with a new language personally I need Chrome's right click to translate a page functionality in Firefox before I'll fully move

That now opens a new tab with Google Translate, which is annoying. I prefer https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-transl...

+1 for Simple Translate.

Simply select text, click the popup and done. I just wish there was option to quick change the output language (currently you can have like 2 target languages).
