Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2824.2 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Right click an empty spot on a webpage What is the expected behavior? Only those items should appear that are usable for me. What went wrong? a "Cast" menu item is present. But, since I don't use chromecast nor do I have any devices supporting it, this is ultimately a cruft that makes the context menu less usable. Context menu bloating tendency should be nipped in the bud so that it doesn't become IE-like (screenshot attached). Did this work before? Yes Before issue #623048 was "fixed" Chrome version: 54.0.2824.2 Channel: dev OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2) Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 22.0 r0 Ideally, the "Cast" menu item should appear only when a chromecastable device was found.

FWIW, it can be disabled via chrome://flags/#media-router flag, but it's not a real solution to the problem as the flags usually get deprecated after some time.

Print... also shows, even if you have no printers. While I think it's proper for us to be judicious about what shows in a context menu, it will be difficult for us to show this only if there are Cast devices present since that would require us to do a network scan, which would wake up the component extension and result in extra network traffic, plus latency in bringing up the context menu. You can disable Cast via policy also, which will be the supported solution here even post-flag deprecation. See https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#EnableMediaRouter. |
