[gentoo-user] Website disabling right click

[gentoo-user] Website disabling right click

[Dale]

Hi folks,

I have this website that I purchase products off of and this is getting
on my nerves.  I'm accustomed to right clicking and opening in new tabs
and such, especially when searching for products.  Is their some way I
can disable them blocking right click?  Each time I right click
something, it gives me a pop up thing.

I'm not trying to "steal" some pics from them or anything, I just want
to be able to surf the way I am accustomed to.  If you would like to see
the site, here is a link.  http://www.etoolnet.com/  It's not porn or
anything.  It's just for air conditioning supplies.

I'm open to maybe some extension thing like adblock, which is also
installed.  I'm not much on editing source code tho. ;-) 

Thanks.

Dale

Right click works for me... The right click protection thing is
javascript. If you block JS (with noscript for example) the right
click will work..

It's Javascript. Go to "Preferences -> Content -> Enable JavaScript"
and uncheck "Disable or replace context menus". You will still get the
popup, but the context menu will not be suppressed.

I blocked the script with adblock so I can right click now.  I would
like to get rid of that stupid popup tho.  I HATE popups. 

I wonder if popup blocker can block that somehow?

Here the links open perfectly in new tabs if you hold the Apple key &  
left click. Perhaps your browser has some similar key-bound click-- 
modifier?

I considered suggesting contacting the owners of the site & explaining  
how stupid it is to piss your customers off without benefit, but if  
they're dumb enough to have implemented this in the first place then  
there's probably no persuading them.

Yea, I wrote them already.  I mentioned that if they are worried about
someone taking their pics, all you have to do is get it out of the
browser cache.  It's not hard at all.  Their search engine sucks too. 
You get a whopping 4 results per page.  O_O  I usually just use google
and the site search.  I can set it to 100 per page and I think the pics
are better too.  The pics on the site are pretty small really.

Oh, I can hold the control key and left click and it opens in a new
tab.  I'm just used to right clicking is all.

They may have cheap prices but their website sucks.  May be cheap to get
customers to put up with their crappy site.  LOL  Get a better website,
may get customers and make more cash.  :/

I doubt they know enough about websites to have requested that
feature. More likely, it was a poor choice by the web developer, who,
guessing by the appearance of the site, hasn't touched it since long
before the advent of tabbed browsing.  

Oh, I take that back.  appears to be a current version of the hideous
os commerce app they have chosen for some god aweful reason, 3d cart.
I can think of no good reason to pay 20-100 dollars for such a
monstrosity when it's 3+ years old anyway... apparently these people
have never heard of open source software.

I considered this, but it doesn't really matter, does it?

SOMEONE thought this was a good idea, and if THEY'RE dumb enough to  
have implemented this in the first place then there's probably no  
persuading them.

If you complain to the website owner the chances are that they're just  
going to back to the website "designer" and ask him to explain it to  
them, and he'll explain it to them in a way that rationalises his  
original decision to foul with right-clicking.

Of course there is the possibility that if the company receives loads  
of complaints then they'll do something about it, or that the graphic  
designer has moved on now, or the website owner has recently employed  
someone internally who is more technically literate & who will be more  
sympathetic to these complaints, but chances are that bitching about  
it won't make any difference.

	This type of nonsense is pretty standard with industrial non techy or 
general consumer sites. I buy a lot of motorcycle parts and tools. 
Almost every site that isn't online only is as bad as this site or worse.

After reading your message, GoDaddy popped in my head.  Guess what, they
host the site so it is probably something they do themselves and is a
packaged website. 

Oh well, I won't be ordering from them to often anyway.  Google search
is a lot better than theirs too so maybe I can live with it.

I'm using adblock plus and unchecked all boxes in Firefox preferences
javascript options. I see no popups, and all links / mouse clicks work
fine...

It doesn't seem to be doing it anymore. Maybe someone got in touch
with them and convinced them to change it?

I did write them about this so maybe they do listen.  o_O  It does work
for me too now and I haven't changed anything here.  No pop up either. 

Thanks.  This is cool.

Yep, it is a bit rare nowadays.  My Dad was in business for years, most
of my life.  He always said the customer had the best ideas.  After all,
they are the one spending the money.

I like the site now.  Just wish the searches would have more than 4
results at a time.  Maybe have a little thing to select 10, 20, 50, 100
or something like that.  Sort of like Google does.

May write them about that too.  They are listening at least.
