Chrome On Pausing For Long Time When Picking A Location To Save Ed File Download Plugin Which

I then found the Library Internet Plug-Ins folder, and within that, an old Speed Download plugin which was causing my Safari issues.

The bonus from this change is that I actually got rid of all those dialogs that tell me that the files I downloaded came from the internet -- well, I know they came from the internet; I just downloaded them Even plain HTML files cant be opened without clicking that stupid OK button.

Of course, theres some reason for Apple to put the safety warning there, but.

However, I dont know if there are any other side effects, so proceed with caution.

Personally, I put up with the annoying dialog, though I wish there were some user control over when it would appear (for instance, opening said HTML files shouldnt evoke a warning dialog).

Ive marked this hint 10.5 Only, as I think thats when this plug-in was added; please correct me if Im wrong.

Keep in mind that the purpose of macosxhints is to share knowledge, and some of that knowledge is potentially dangerous.

Its up to each person to make the gono-go determination themselves for any given hint, though I try (as I thought I did above) to note which hints seem particularly dangerous.

If you didnt, that is the last barrier to save you from being pwned.

Because once you have downloaded that HTML file to your local volume, the Javascript inside that file gets a whole new set of privileges.

I know too many people wholl ignore the warning dialog once they are used to it.

For that to happen they need to search for a way to do so (or accidentially come across this page) and then do something about it (like moving the said plugin).

Dont get me wrong: I appreciate your remarks - at least they make those, not sure about what they are going to do think about it again.

But there is no reason to be come across so emotional and self-rightous.

This warning message is for me as for most of the people useless.

If you are downloading so many files from the Internet each day that you dont have timeenergy to pause and consider whether each one is something that you trust, then its like having a steady stream of strangers entering your house.

I.e. in that case, security is already a lost cause and youd better have inside defences like those of heavily touristed buildings like the Empire State Building.

The confirmation dialog is useful for those with a more normal level of incoming - its analogous to having a peephole in your door so you can see who is knocking.

Except that this warning only shows up with applications (and scripts) and only shows up when you startrun the applicationscript by double-clicking on it.

As parent says, its there to alert you to possible drive-bys.

It shouldnt have been difficult for Apple to bring back the focus to the launched app by makeKeyAndFrontWindow or so.
