I am going to go out of my way to download an image I don't even care about, on any site that does this. I'll download your fucking background color, I don't care. Don't insult visitors with this crap.

Well they can't stop you from screenshotting the picture, and even if they could you have a much bigger problem on your hands.

Also, as a developer, I can tell you right now:

Disabling right click is literally one line of code.

Yes, we know people can get around it, we don't care.
Yes, we tell our customers this, they don't care.

Since it's one line of code, we charge them nothing to implement it, so if they want it, we do it.

Your average person, once they can't download an image easily via right click, just gives up.

A small minority of people seek ways to download, regardless. The easiest method is via simple Chrome add-on, of which there are dozens.

We don't care. The customer doesn't actually care. They just like knowing that they're thwarting like 90% of visitors.

The pic I don't care about. The right click stuff, yes, I do, hence the topic.

Windows Key + Shift + S

for those who dont know.

If a site does this disabling crap, just snip the image you want and email the site the image to taunt them.

No. How do you even get that from what smackems said? And have you even seen a porn site lately? There's like 3 templates from 2009.

What I wanted was:

Although the last time this happened I really did just save the bg image out of spite.

Right, and they're pretty much the only sites that disable right click, anymore. Mostly as a rather poor attempt to keep people from saving videos, which obviously fails.

Also, I'm pretty sure Smackems was mocking you.

No? I don't know what kinks you have that that's what you find, but more power to you. Oh, maybe you mean the video wrapper itself, but that's always been something you needed to get via console anyway.

I haven't seen any news site that blocks simple highlighting words. The image stuff is obnoxious with pinterest as all their images are grabbed from other sites to begin with. If it's part of a private site where all their images are their own I can understand that but the few times I've seen it it's always using public images.

Then you didn't visit enough news site.

Tho the current trend is if you tried to Ctrl+c a WORD on those site, your clipboard like "WORD This was copied from the best website, the nicest one, the one who doesn't let you even peacefully copy a word. Copyrights 2023 bla bla bla".

There are chrome extensions for this.

What I hate is when the actual image shown is FAR smaller than it actually is. The main reason you should always be able to right fclick.

The "modern" way to do that, is to place a transparent gif (or webp, now) over the top, so right-click-save-as gives nothing useful.
Of course, all that accomplishes, is teaching an increasing number of users how to mess around in the inspector, or just do screenshots.

If you are in Firefox, just go into Tools->Page Info->Media.

The added benefit is that it spoils the plans of any schmegegee who puts a transparent png over the image to prevent a right click.

Because I can't imagine anybody truly believing somebody is "being a rebel" or "getting back at them" by putting in actual real effort to get around a right click. It's so trivial.

That is literally what I explained, and then he tried to explain it again. I think you put too much stock in what you association with certain things, and not enough in the actual content of what you read.
