A comment on Update Regarding Add-Ons in Firefox. Parent comment
So a secure system would let you run Doom, but could forbid:'
- Access to the filesystem outside the application domain due to potential for exfiltrating or destroying user data
- Likewise, access to global system data may be limited
- Access to the network due to (raw TCP/UDP) traffic not having been audited for security, and the network connectivity being usable for exfiltration
- Access to run full-screen due to the ability to perform user phishing attacks by presenting fake UI.
- The ability to disable system-registered keyboard sequences (on windows, such as the windows key or sticky keys)
- Access to mouse events outside its window
- Access to key scan data, although this likely will be emulated
- Access to change display color modes to e.g. 256 color indexed, although this will likely be emulated as well
