[ Microsoft Web Capture ] https://i.imgur.com/2nBTmCa.png


Since the release of the new Microsoft Edge, we have heard a lot of
feedback about missing the web notes tool that allowed you to capture
and mark up content across the web. Frankly, we’ve missed it too! But
first, we wanted to make it better. While web notes was a great
feature, there was also room for improvement. Many of you reported
using it for capturing quick screenshots to copy or share, while
others loved the ability to to mark-up full webpages with scrolling.
So, we designed the new screenshot feature, web capture, with this in
mind and are excited to introduce the basic screen capture
functionality to our Dev and Canary builds. In the near future, you
can expect to see more functionalities added to web capture, like
adding ink or highlights to your captures, capturing full webpages,
and scrolling while marking them.

Is this the same thing as Ctrl S in FF and a few dozen other browsers?
The curious want to know.


Example:

"Press the Ctrl + Shift + S keys."

What's this 'Canary' build stuff? What's the version number they're
talking about?

To keep canarys, you'll need a bird cage and a bag of seed.
Scroll down.

There could be some relationship, between the
Chromium (source) build number and the ChromEdge (derived)
build number. They do that with the Thunderbird build
number and the Firefox ESR it's derived from. Since I
don't use ChromEdge, I hardly notice build numbers.

Birds also require grit to grind up the seed they swallow hole.

Seemed pertinent to the discussion.

'Canary' is a gay way of saying 'beta'. The people who try it are like
the canaries that used to be sent down into mines to test the quality of
the air.

'Canary' is a gay way of saying 'beta'. The people who try it are like
the canaries that used to be sent down into mines to test the quality of
the air.


Alpha ----- Beta ----- Release === human has tried to run program
\ once in each case
\
Canary === automated build, you do the
(Nightly) testing to see if it even runs

I would not run a Canary on my regular C: drive.

I would install it in an OS inside a virtual machine,
then if it ate my C: drive for lunch, I would not
care.

I've had Nightly builds of software, where you
try to run them and they complain about certain
DLLs being missing. Just to give an example of what
happens sometimes. Most of the time, these things
are airtight and safe, but not always. For example,
a Nightly could have an undiscovered "Delete" bug
in it...

In the case of browser testing, if the browser supports
"alternate profile selection" such that it won't
destroy my regular profile bookmarks file, then I
could probably test it on the HDD C: drive. For example,
if you build Chromium at home (needs 32GB RAM approx),
when you are finished, there is a mechanism in the
build tree where you can run your new executable
with a "temporary profile". This allows testing
without harming anything else, and without using VMs.
It's a great feature.

Whereas the Canary above, it's an installer (not a build
tree), and it's going to remove the existing Program File
install and install the Nightly in its place. And it may
not have the desired level of profile selection control,
to make things entirely "safe", for some value of "safe".

Firefox/TB have Profile Manager, and there's some
non-standard procedure for triggering it and using it.
I don't know if Chromium bothers with such things.

I don't know if there's any gayness involved, but
you should be aware of the risks with a Nightly,
to some degree. Any process that's fully automated
and doesn't involve humans, there could eventually
be a surprise. I'm sure the developers would be
very apologetic if the software deleted your bookmarks
due to some incompatibility. You would hear
snicker in the background.

Remember what your mom said, something about
"poking your eyeball out with that thing". I
can attribute the fact I still have 1.875 eyeballs
to the copious warnings I received as a youth.

No.

It's more like an alpha or pre-alpha.

Only a gay wouldn't know that.
