Probably people were screen shotting unauthorized web sites already blocked from being archived.
Chrome no longer allows you to take screenshots

and tell me if it works

this is some kikery. i didn't know an app had the power to block screenshots on android. your not screenshotting the app your screenshotting the fucking screen.
Michael Wood
maybe it isn't entirely kikery
androidpolice.com
netflix apparantly does it too, which i'm sure pure kikery, but this claims it's only on incognito tabs. have you tried taking a screenshot on a regular tab?
i don't see where the security on this is, unless it's to block a webext from doing it, which is bullshit anyway
Jonathan Lopez
Firefox doesn't have these problems
Oliver Gray
Is it to stop RATs taking pictures of a compromised user's browsing activity?
If so, the RAT would probably have access to the cache, and any temporary files on the system anyway.
It is likely (((security))) for your own good.
That just decides to doxx you and not tell you it has connection problems on sites it doesn't want you to see instead.
Leo Jones
proof or didn't happen
private mode isn't supposed to store cache in persistent storage, and accessing other application's private storage is not possible without root access on Android anyway.

Thank you 4chan
Jacob Harris
You can just take a photo, you know.
Jason Phillips
This. Especially considering the fact that Google removed their View Image button for the express purpose of forcing people to visit websites, I do not doubt one single bit that they're making this screenshot blocking API for the same exact purpose.

No spyware is constantly scanning and updating a database of cache contents, retard
Well unsurprisingly, you're wrong, reatrd. Getty images sued them to remove the "view image" button, not the screenshot feature.

Why can't you learn to program and contribute something useful
Charles Cox
it could have if they want to enable it. tor browser on android has it enabled.
James Smith
Luckily it's free software, so you can just publish a fork without it if you don't like it.
Netflix is proprietary. That means you don't have the freedom to remove that feature even though it's really easy to do.
Hudson Morris
Google Chrome is proprietary software that is based on open source, BSD licensed, Chromium project.
Nathaniel Nelson
phoneposters cucked again
Nathan Cooper
Someone make a userscript to add it back.
Nathan Perry
It's been a feature in SMSecure / Silence for a few years.
Zachary Williams
just right click the image and click on "open in new tab"
Jaxon Brooks
I want reddit to leave
Cameron Sanders
It’s related to the DRM capabilities of Android I think.
Carson Kelly
ITS INCOGNITO MODE!'
Just tried it. Incognito mode blocks screenshots. Normal mode does not
Mystery solved tbh
Jacob Gutierrez
chrome confirmed pajeet tier
Carter Gray
Or you could have read the thread, retard.
John White
They are first trying this in incognito mode to gauge peoples reaction to this. If people don't disapprove Jewgle will ban screenshotting from Chrome altogether. This is nothing more than a plausibly deniable test run.
Justin Cooper
This is what happens if you use some other screenshot app besides the default system one
