minus-squareHirom@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoNeither. I use a chromium package from my linux distribution. It has many patches on top of the upstream chromium. That probably explain why that unwanted feature isn’t there. This issue appear on Google Chrome for Windows on my other machine. Just uninstalled it, never used it anyway.

Reproduced here, Chromium on Linux Mint desktop. You need to have open a Google.com site for it to work though.
