so, i found out just now while generating a meme why i was having some problems with images not uploading correctly.

HTML5 canvas access.

this is a functionality that essentially allows a web script to take a snapshot of your web page. it could be used, for example, to capture a revealed password text if the malicious injected script was able to also watch the mouse position and click state and grab nearby areas when mouse events occur, which would be such as clicking the 👁️ next to a password field.

ok, i have now discovered that by blocking open.spotify.com, a site that shows up on web previews from certain users posting music on coracle, that it was causing my browser to block my ability to get screenshots from my OS screenshot app (the gnome one, though i don't run gnome).

by blocking open.spotify.com using a site blocker, so that this DRM crap doesn't load up on coracle, i now can screenshot properly.

couldn't figure it out but now i know.

librewolf does not disable this functionality. brave does. shame that brave is a shitcoin.

shame that mozilla, even the "spy-free" variant doesn't remove DRM.

interfering with my ability to explicitly request HTML5 canvas which is rendering on my display is um.. yeah a bit creepy. i have script access to canvas silently blocked now. no bastard software has the right to stop me capturing the pixels that paint on my screen. period. not ok, not in any form or shape.
