    With even email clients and web browsers running arbitrary and untrusted remote code on a regular basis, that model needs serious reconsideration.

    This xkcd shouldn’t still be insightful. https://xkcd.com/1200/

      Maybe its time to rethink desktop security. I realize that there is credential manager on windows, keychain on mac, and similar on gnu/linux; even with that it seems for a lot of services “all” you need to do is steal a cookie and all of a sudden you are someone else.

        Idea of using a web browser for a platform was dumb enough and the reason why none of the keys were stored in appropriate services.

        fuck no. It’s imbossible to be productive on an android or ios phone, where the os is hostile to you actually using it the way you want.

        For an example of rethinking desktop security, see wayland in linux, and how ll accessibility programs now don’t cannot possibly work.

            i do have and use that. But it’s still running android apps. which are designed for a touchscreen.

            Termux is great though
