Yes this has shot us. Your approach is much better. Half of our outsourcers use Firefox with a screenshot tool which is a java applet. This just stopped working. So Monday is going to be a days work for our operations guys to sort out the mess.
I don't expect the browser to police the internet - it's not its job.
I'm actually gaining respect for IE these days - it doesn't pull shit like this and we have more control over it in a corporate environment.
- politician 14y agoI do expect the browser to police the internet though tab isolation, incognito modes, and plugin policies. These plugin vendors are a persistent source of exploitable security bugs. An analogy, if my butler allows you into my home and he notices you opening the door to criminals, then he's going to demand that you leave. If he doesn't, I'm going to fire him. (Disclosure: I don't have a butler.)
- meaty 14y agoWarn yes, ban no. That is the problem. Anything which takes choice away from the user is negative if you ask me.
- rmc 14y agoI don't expect the browser to police the internet - it's not its job. Protecting users from getting compromised is part of the browser's job. Security on the internet is important.
