#74This ushers in a new era of annoying and pointless "This website prevents right clicks" popups.
Just the other day I said to my coworker everybody, by now, knew how to use firebug/inspector (he disagreed and, being in support, he does see more suffering than I do) - we were looking at a client site that had a javascript obfuscation of the html source.
It's like this grand battle stage of the worlds tiniest violins.

It's becoming increasing clear that on HN you're a second class citizen if you don't use Chrome on a Mac and develop on RoR.
I think you're confusing popularity with exclusion. Doesn't bother me or make me feel like an outsider because I use Opera as my primary browser and mostly Linux/Windows PCs. It's all a frame of mind and such statements are not really needed on HN because it's really not true. I actually read the Rails articles quite a bit just because I like to not limit what I do or know to a small subset, even if I do not actively…
One of the main reasons I switched away from Opera was because so many neat little projects made with new HTML5 technologies would not work in Opera. This goes both for small side projects as well as business ventures.
I do understand the lack of support for Opera, with it having just a tiny market share in the US, but it still is a form of exclusion.
I'm glad Opera is switching to Webkit & V8 because besides the many websites breaking I found Opera to be much nicer to use than Chrome or Firefox.

#76It's a nice demo and congratulation to Adam but I wonder if I m the only one that doesn't like that the browser allows this detection. I mean accessing the log is one thing but shouldn't this be this unreachable fro; the sandbox?

I was using chrome for many years, almost from the start. But switched to firefox a week ago, because my chrome started to feel more and more laggy, both on home and work computer. I'm not disappointed yet.

but then we could just ensure that this line gets called first console.profile = console.profileEnd = function () {};
Not only that, you have to save a reference to the parts of the console that you want to use just in case they attempt to destroy those. var c = console var l = console.log var log = function(){ l.apply(c, arguments) } Now they can't break the console from working with stuff like: console.log = function(){}
well in that case i guess you could always do
var _console = console;
console = undefined;Re: Chrome Inspector Detector

Yeah, I'm kind of used to Opera not always working with everything that it does not phase me anymore after 10 years of use. If it's something I need to see Opera won't render, I either hack around it in Opera or just open Chromium. I also understand that Chrome is popular and many of the projects on hn are hacks put together for the developer and to show us what they do for fun and learning versus projects made for the masses, so I give leadway when things don't always work. Sometimes it's just a simple mistake and the developer is glad to fix it (like he did here [updated in the linked article] for anyone that did not have an Apple keyboard). Although we all have our favorites, most of us like to be accommodating if it does not require hours of additional personal time.
I have all the large browsers installed though for web development, so I can always open something else if needed. I just can't move away from Opera, because of all the native power features I would have to give up or find extensions that may or may not work exactly the same and have future support by their developers. I can say though that unlike some sites I frequented in the past (such as slashdot), I have never had anyone on HN make snarky remarks about me being an Opera user, which is refreshing and quite the opposite of being excluded.
I do think Webkit will help Opera in the long run as well, as long as they do not use it as a reason to throw away their long term commitment they have stuck with to keep backwards support for features and user interface elements. If they ditch most of that on the notion they can just tell users to use Chrome extensions, I would be truly sadden and have little reason to use Opera anymore. I'd probably end up forking Chromium in attempt to make it function like Opera once did and hope other former Opera users would help contribute via code commits along the way. That's just worst case thinking and I'm going to stay optimistic for now :)
Not to get too off track though from the discussion, but the OP (above my original reply) is correct in that there is quite a bit of RoR and Apple upvoted articles (if that was his point), but there are many others in a variety of topics. Perhaps not everyone is as interested as I am about broadening my knowledge of various technologies whether I use them or not, but I think many of us on HN are. Since I don't follow RoR or Apple news that much, I don't mind seeing it, because it at least keeps me exposed to information I don't follow actively on my own.
