TCP/UDP access is behind explicit prompt and it's basically the same as executing downloaded application, so I don't think that it's anything bad. Basically you either install software to your local system which does not have any restrictions or you use web application which still is pretty restricted and contained.
- chrisjj 2y ago> TCP/UDP access is behind explicit prompt ... that is satisfied by a single click from malware or social engineering. Insane.
- vbezhenar 2y agoWould you be happy with two clicks? Three clicks? Like what's the principal difference? As I said, you can download and run arbitrary application with one click today. And may be second click to confirm to operating system (not sure if it's always necessary). Insane thing is that arbitrary application has instantly full access to your computer. And web application still heavily constrained and has to ask about almost every permission.
- chrisjj 2y agoI would accept zero clicks on a browser that I've installed without this dangerous feature and /with a promise no autoupdate will sneak it in/. The reason your web page has to be imprisoned in permissions is that it is a web page from just about anyone using access that the browser has given it without telling the user.
