- JonnieCache 15y agoBrowsers get used as word processors, chatrooms etc.
- dexen 15y agoUnlike most desktop apps, browsers interface user directly with the internet, and it is dangerous out there. For example, theres' case of stealing text from copy/paste buffer http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3314004 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3314004
- dfxm12 15y agoMore and more desktop apps are interfacing the users with the Internet though, especially when you extrapolate Apple's model with their app store. It is just as dangerous "in here" too...
