Deleted133263User Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) With any fork of the Chrome browser, we used to be able to right click on a file to download and open it in another tab. First advantage was that downloads appear in the bottom of the main window alongside each other, and you did not need to open up downlaod history to view progress of multiple downloads (and thus you know when all downloads are complete and can close the connection) Second advantage is extensions, in new tabs, extensions are active in the sandboxed process of each tab - In pop-up windows they are not. So any protection extensions to chrome become I believe effectively disabled while downloading. For instance the new AdBlockPlus for Chromium, and Ghostery blocking Web Bugs (for instance such as eXtreME Tracker, Comscore Beacon, Google analytics and OpenX) Third advantage - You dont have multiple pop-up windows! Can we have this behaviour reverted please - Or is this yet another unfortunate side effect of advertising. I dont see any adverts in pop-ups (probably because of the mvps hosts file I use (unwise not to these days)), but I have seen that mentioned even for premium users - Being addressed at the moment. Current behaviour when you right click a file and choose open in new tab ... You just get a duplicate of the page you are looking at, instead of the old behaviour of commencing choosing download server, and the download commencing thereafter in the new tab.

Deleted133263User Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Also noticed recently when logging out from TESNexus this happens .... http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=9340450Untitled.jpg Too much URL tracking? To go back to TESNexus after a log out, I need to run CCleaner first. Edited January 30, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted133263User Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) This is not a poke at your need for advertising btw, I trust the management of the sites, I just dont trust advertisers (bigger scallywags than pirates IMHO) and the multiple sources which you cannot possibly monitor (as has become evident quite recently with piggyback malware associated with advertising) Edited January 30, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoikani Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I agree with the advertising while downloading. It is so annoying. At one time I could download and it would allow me to open new DL's into the same window - no longer. But the most annoying part is that I have to wait and watch a 30 second long advertisement for a 11kb file that took less than a second to download. I often thought of becoming a member, but I've decided firmly against becoming one because of the advertising. I don't think I could trust my right to privacy of registering as a member and worrying about my email address being sold. I'm not sure if that would be guranteed for me. Thus, for these reasons I've very sparingly acquired downloads here when I may get it somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoikani Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 wait a minute?? You're a member and you get advertising ? I'm definitely not becoming a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who pay for a premium membership don't get ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
