But this is just as secure as full disk encryption of the device right?

- md_ 10y agoThe browser runs in user space. Desktop OSes don't offer any sort of partitioning here. So there's very little reason to have any app-level encryption on a desktop OS.
- vetinari 10y agoRunning in user space is not enough. It would need root. It is also hard to keep root, when you have dm-verity and selinux in enforcing mode. Android applications are also sandboxed from each other. You would have hard time getting from one app to another's files, unless the original app published them - or you've got root.
