Some web programmers are just morons. They will load a ton of javascript and try to automate almost every function. Ever clicked a print version link on some page and had the print dialouge box loaded automatically. This is just annoying. How the hell the webmaster knew i will using one of the printer from Windows Printer and Faxes to print his crappy webpage???? I could be using Acrobat Pro to convert the webpage into PDF or just using tons of other utilities to capture web pages in document format or may be just saving the page for archiving / later reading. It makes like hell when you have a few tens of pages to save.
I wish there were extension which would tell me what scripts are there in a webpage and what are their functions so i could just block them from loading and make my life easier.
Second thing I hate is automatic opening of PDF files in browser. That is so unsafe, one could link to a malicious virus infected PDF file and wreak a havoc. Second thing it serves no purpose if you are downloading PDF ebooks which are large in file size like 398MB. Either the file wont load compleletly or your browser will crash. What is should do is ask the end user if they would like to open the file in browser or save it somewhere. Acrobate installs a huge memory hogging pluging in your browser and if they cant provide this functionlity, its a shame. Who is desinging this crap software. Ohh wait a minute, I know..the corporations are desiging it and we are still paying mega bucks for it like fool.
Sometimes, right clicking and selecting "save target as..." is not viable with files since some moron webprogrammers use redirected links rather than direct links, just to make the life of end user harder and their own miserable with all the programming.
Ability to manager and disable addon in Internet Explorer is a nifty functionality added to it by XP-SP2 however how dumb is that while you can disable addon's, you cant delete them all together. How much would it have hurt M$ to add a few lines of code more and a button to delete the selected addon and all of its registry refrences. I mean after all they went throught the entire painstaking coding processes of detecing, indentifing and disable addons. This is another example of bad programming because to an end user its like "if you dont like the spyware hijacking your browser dont use it but we aint giving you a way to take it out permenantly" therefore user is again doomed to rely on third party utilites to delete the addons.
