@vkc I also had no idea people were having trouble with middle-button paste, until I saw people's reactions to this change.

It's such a delightful little helper, saves 2 keyboard interactions, doesn't ever paste formatting, gives me an extra buffer... and I don't recall ever having trouble with it since Firefox stopped opening everything pasted into it as a URL, many years ago.

Now I wonder what it is that I can't get used to that everybody else thinks is the best thing ever.

@vkc They do have a history of breaking workflows for no good reason. My first thought was "they are going to drop support for it in the future and then I'm going to have to find a new DE again, what a headache".

Of course they have the right to do whatever they please but it shouldn't be surprising that the existing users whose lives it makes more difficult will complain.

Whether they always hit the right tone with their complaints is another matter, to be sure.
