Disable hover menu on images in Microsoft Edge
Posted: 3 Nov 24, 22:55
 
In Microsoft Edge, rolling over a photograph with the cursor, by default, displays a "hover menu." A user can change settings for their browser, but a developer can't. From there, users can search the web for similar images with a sidebar popup. It is more angering—to me, at least—that a user can download a copy of the photograph, even though you have purposefully checked the "Right click protection on images" checkbox. I want to do everything possible to prevent viewers from stealing my prized work.

The only fix I could find was to add some custom CSS on the PhotoBlogger>Advanced>Custom Code tab:

   img {
      pointer-events:none !important;
   ]

It only works if you add the "!important" property; without that, it doesn't work.

Thanks for the tip!

BTW, the only real protection is to avoid uploading high-resolution images, and perhaps applying some watermark. Whether you disable the right-click menu and the hover menu or not, anybody can take a screenshot or look into the code for the image URL.

Even easier than looking at the page code, just launch the lightbox for an image, then do a little quick edit to the URL in the address bar.

The only real way to protect one's images is not to put them on the interwebs. ;)

I’d guess watermarks are not much use now, unless they are so large as to be too intrusive, AI content replace would probably make easy work of it.

Content Credentials might take off, but costly if you want your own content certificate. Not sure if it will ever be made available in jAlbum or its skins.
