A perfectly informed user would never have navigated to a site that was running malicious code. That's basically the point - the threat model today is sufficiently complicated that there's no such thing as a perfectly informed user, so we have to design systems to be resilient against users making mistakes.
- comex 9y agoWell… it's certainly much more practical to decide "I'll only run applications I trust" than "I'll only ever visit websites I trust" or, in full generality, "I'll only ever use any application to process data whose creator I trust". But I guess that's not really the point you're making, and of course, in an ideal world native apps would be no more dangerous than websites anyway…
