> sandbox for everything
IMO, This is the best thing about browser as an OS. You can run untrusted apps and know that it couldn't steal your ssh keys or other things without your consent, similar to iOS and Android.
- zz865 5y agoYes its the best thing about a browser when your laptop has valuable stuff on it. When all your data is on a server its like you dont need a sandbox any more. :)
- aloer 5y agoThere are more benefits with the browser sandbox than just plain old file access. Web apps can’t just read the clipboard or enter scripts/commands or take screenshots or activate webcam and microphone For all practical purposes, file system sandbox features might actually be the first to become meaningless again when more and more data is stored in offline browser caches And application delivery in enterprise environments is also much more lightweight compared to VDI solutions like Citrix so there’s another benefit in terms of sandbox and isolation
