- blueskin_ 13y agoDon't give them ideas.
- derefr 13y agoNote that downloading of executables via Chrome is mostly already restricted to those from Microsoft- or Apple-approved publishers, because of SmartScreen/Gatekeeper. (And Linux has a culture of looking for things in package management before hunting down an executable on the web, so you basically get the same effect there through convention.)

Actually it will let you download it but will delet it as soon as it is done downloaded.
