      Interesting. I have been having to manually edit posts on forums to change hash marks ("") to quotation marks (“”) for social media posts. When searching Google I found this previous issue that actually marked the respecting of macOS’s smart-quote setting as a bug(!):

      It would be nice to have the same functionality on macOS as my mobile phone when deailing with quotes, since it is an OS-level setting that can be turned off. Is there a particular reason why chromium browsers don’t repsect this setting?

        @omaryak Sometimes you need to be able to enter a plain apostrophe instead of a right single quote, as the apostrophe symbol has meaning in the Markdown format used by the forum. Hence if smart quotes leaves you no method to enter an apostrophe, it does become a bug. Not being a Mac user, I have no way of knowing if there is some method to temporarily bypass smart quotes, though apparently the user in that other thread was not aware of one.
