- nmgycombinator 2y agoI honestly think this is a good skepticism to have. I generally don't hit "Accept" (or "Allow" or whatever) on any permission pop-up unless I know exactly what it's doing and what I need it for.

- nmgycombinator 2y agoI bet threat actors are just salivating at the thought of giving you a fake password prompt.
- coolcase 2y agoYeah. I am very hygienic at work in terms of what sites I visit but you can never be too careful. To me the main threat vector is my dev curiosity!
- nmgycombinator 2y agoLol, I know that curiosity feeling.
