I doubt most casual users would know the distinction between "native filsystem access" and what the browser does already. They'll just (wrongly, in this case) assume the browser is safe as long as they don't download and install anything, and brazenly click Yes to every prompt that shows up.
- jarek-foksa 6y agoThe prompt that asks user for a permission to write a local file says: "<domainName> will be able to edit <fileName> until you close all tabs for this site [Cancel] [Save changes]". But before this prompt is even shown, user must first manually select the file with the native file picker dialog and click the "Open" button. Therefore, giving accidental accesses to a file is not going to be as easy as with a camera or a microphone.
