--- Comment #6 from Répási Dávid <[email protected]> --- The preferred way would be that apps include links they support to have those open inside of them. Shipping a giant list of links is not really maintainable and quickly updatable for plasma itself, so this part should be on the apps. And yes, for example: https://youtube.com/ could be set to open in plasmatube or freetube or whatever your default browser is. > allow apps to *claim* URLs This one is tricky, but could also be done, flatpak, maybe even snap advertise apps that are maintained officially by the project, so they could be looked upon as good actors for the most part, so these apps could CLAIM their advertised list of links, BUT, I think it is still imperical to retain user control, and let the user OPT-OUT of these as well, unlike on android. I say all this, since across distros and packaging formats you can't really make sure that a package maintainer is legit and doesn't wan't to do some sort of phising attack (recent AUR malwares for example), so anything that is not an official package should only be OPT-IN by default. ANDROID AND IOS : os <-> online list verification These platforms have an extra layer of security check where they provide an online list of apps and websites that are verified good pairs, and only these signed apps can CLAIM and OWN URLs by default, I don't think this could be easily built out for the linux land, just by virtue of packaging the apps you will get different signatures for them, you would also need to trust all dozen or more packagers for any given app. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
