What do you need help with?
I’m migrating a little non-profit team from Airtable to Baserow, and we have folks using all kinds of devices and operating systems. As I explore browser support for Baserow on MacOS and iOS, the only real shortfall I see is in the availability of the context (right-click) menu to use important commands such as “Delete Row” in many settings.
On MacOS, Chrome works fine, but both Safari and Firefox fail to support the context menu. (Curiously, if I use Safari to make a web app from a Baserow tab (Use Safari web apps on Mac - Apple Support), the context menu works as expected!)
On iOS, it appears that the context menu is simply unsupported.
Do I understand this situation correctly? …or am I missing something? If I have it right, is there a plan to improve Baserow’s support for this important UI element across browsers and devices?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @jlkane, a few colleagues have tested this on their side and confirmed they can see the context menu in both Safari and Firefox on MacOS.
Could it be that you have a user preference setting for your right click on your device that could be affecting this feature? What device are you using and how do you currently right click?
Your reply made me go back and look harder at my browser setup in both Firefox and Safari, and I traced the problem to a web browser extension that stops a wide variety web site annoyances and privacy violations: https://www.underpassapp.com/StopTheMadness/
I have the Stop the Madness extension installed in both browsers, and in general it has proven to be helpful and invisible… until now. Some websites are coded in such as way to prevent a visitor from opening a contextual menu – perhaps to make it a bit harder to download images – and Stop the Madness injects code to defeat that… and it’s that bit of Stop the Madness’s code injection that was preventing Baserow from providing its unique context menu in response to my right-clicks.
Fortunately, Stop the Madness provides a very granular mechanism for enabling/disabling specific actions – even website-by-website if necessary – and when I turned off that one bit of its behavior, the Baserow-specific context menu appeared, just as expected.
Thank you for your support… and keep up the GREAT work! Baserow is fantastic!
