> Maybe the case of TCP/UDP could be improved by showing a human readable version of the prompt for some well known ports. So a browser would ask "Do you allow webmail.com to use a secure IMAP connexion to mydomain.com?" when webmail.com requests access to mydomain.com:993 Such prompts are going to be super confusing to the majority of users. What is IMAP? What does secure mean? What's a port? I don't have a solution; I think it's really difficult and interesting problem. For example, you might think a game shouldn't require any permissions, but then it might need internet access to upload scores, access to your address book to invite your friends to play etc. I can't see any easy solutions how you can check the app isn't using these permissions in a malicious way.
