There turn out to be a bunch of complications when one tries to do that, if the goal is to not break existing legitimate uses. I haven't been following this closely, but for Firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354493 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354493 is the relevant bug, with some (failed) attempts to do that.

Interesting. It seems the "legitimate" uses are corporate? Seems like providing a group policy or config option to disable protection against this would be the sensible way to go, rather than increasing the attack surface of home users just because some corporate users do weird things. Although honestly major software vendors are already happy breaking so many things in the name of security that this one could just be another one on top...
