| Yes. I'm constantly annoyed by the dark patterns Zoom and Slack use to trick you into downloading their desktop apps. The web experience is practically indistinguishable and much more secure. |

| Don't let yourself be fooled into thinking this is enough. Plenty of examples of, especially through wasm, being able to reach far beyond what they're supposed to. It gets buttoned up fast and is always getting better, but its absolutely not a silver bullet. |

| Even on Mac, where apps like Dropbox showed you a FAKE DIALOG to STEAL YOUR ADMIN PASSWORD: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12463338 |

| ▲ | Razengan an hour ago | parent [-] | | If it was the standard macOS dialog, an app wouldn't have been able to snoop the password |
