    I loved that too! I use AltDrag[0] to get that functionality in Windows. It's a bit old and you may have to tweak it a bit to make it work with HiDPI, but it's now become a must-install when I set up a new machine. [0] https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/.

  3. The app that improves sharing
    For reference, this issue was brought up to the chromium maintainers but it was closed as wontfix. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1123015 > We are not going to migrate to the system share sheet any time in the near future, so this bug itself is WontFix / WAI. We are also not likely to have an option to disable the chrome share sheet. Moving 'More' may be on the table, though. The irony is that due to API changes you'll no longer be able to use custom share sheets in Android 12, because they wanted "consistency". Now I will have no choice but to eat the 2 seconds of useless loading every time you want to share something as it loads a set of irrelevant share targets that I will never use anyway. https://sharedr.rejh.nl > We had never actually intended to allow apps to replace the share dialog, that Intent is for apps to launch the share dialog. This is about the most damning example of a company not even following its own rules that I can think of.
