What exactly do you think an app in a browser is?
And why don't you think it's capabilities should be restricted? Indeed why don't you think the browser itself should be restricted?
Well, if you install an app it is obvious that you intend it to run. So it has access.
I think you have missed the entire point. The biggest risk is badly behaved apps: either malware that you install by mistake or genuine apps that have been altered. Either way is that the app may try to do something that you did not expect and that you did not wish. So apps should always need be given explicit permission to access resources. If I install an app to play music, for example, I don't expect or want it to be able to use the microphone or camera, or upload anything. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
