About the "embedded browser" for OSX, can we make some privacy and Security consideration?

In particular, does the embedded browser can:

Avoid logging history
Avoid caching
Avoid loading any kind of Safari's configured plug-in

So basically, can the embedded browser be restricted to the minimalistic functionality so that it can be considered very very secure and with reduced risk-impact?

mogui commented 12 years ago

I don't know how we want to realize that thing of the embedded browser we have to talk about it a bit, if we embed a webkit instance we have just the browser rendere engine all the boilerplate of a browser doesn't exists (like history or plugin) so we have not this problem, but we have to re-implement all the things we give for granted in a browser like back and reload buttons, address bar and the like

fpietrosanti commented 12 years ago

Well, stuff like "reload or address bar" would not be required as long as:

APAF is fired against the right URL on http://localhost
Reload, Back, Forward stuff are implemented as a JS-elements (so it's up to APAF developer)

So, can we confirm that by using Webkit instance we don't have any kind of logging?

mogui commented 12 years ago

Reload, Back, Forward can be done also as native gui it isn't a problem, yep I can confirm Webkit itself doesn't logs anything
