And desktop apps can do much more without requiring any permissions at all.
While it would be great to have more secure apps everywhere, panicking about it, as has been so common in the media lately, is pointless.
- icebraining 15y agoThere's a point to be made about expectations, though. On a desktop by default you know that apps can do whatever they want, but on an OS with a built-in sandbox and permissions like "internet", you expect it to not be able to access the internet. That may lead to changes in your behavior, like installing any random app with no permissions instead of carefully evaluating them beforehand.
