That's right at the core of where I'm somewhat frustrated with modern computing.
That's right at the core of where I'm somewhat frustrated with modern computing. There are days when I feel like an ant walking on a map with no idea of the size of the map nor any overview of what is on it. Limiting the scope of what you're seeing is no longer a luxury, it has become a necessity to get any work done but this tendency to want to understand everything is hard to get rid of and a huge time-sink. Couple that with the speed with which formats, protocols and technologies are obsoleted and you end up with an even more frustrating situation. I suspect the next level of major real progress will come from simplification or a total reboot.

"Focus follows mouse" is what I use to keep the file manager from popping up when click-dragging files.
The biggest problem with this is if the target URL doesn't load but also doesn't quickly error out, like e.g.
Google wants to build up a private web here.
