Foundations
There was quite a kerfuffle recently about a feature being removed from Google Chrome. To be honest, the details don’t really matter for the point I want to make, but for the record, this was about removingalertandconfirmdialogs from cross-origin iframes (and eventually everywhere else too).

Měsíc jsem vstávala v pět ráno. Nezbohatla jsem a práce neubylo
Vstávání v nechutně brzké hodiny je oblíbeným zvykem celebrit a milionářů.

Jestli to má doopravdy smysl, jsem měsíc zkoušela za vás.
