@lukyan @maddy I might have to do some digging to find out how things get copied
Whenever I middle click a link expecting it to open in a new tab, it pastes something that I never even highlighted, let alone copied

@usernameswift@pleromer.net @lukyan@lukyan.eu Yeah, that behaviour is what really concerns me 'cause I've definitely had the same shit happen.

@usernameswift @maddy @lukyan afaik various browser engines just use the middle mouse buffer as kind of a cache/scratchpad space, for what reason I don't know but I assume it stems from a time where they couldn't be assed to write it to the application memory, the buffer already *exists* so might as well use it, how clueless they are.
