Another small thing (big for me) Zoom does is register their app as the handler for `tel:` links every time you launch it, with seemingly no way to disable that. Companies that make themselves the default for something on your machine by force are not to be trusted.
I’m not surprised they start a web server from under their users, and that their response to the vulnerability was lacklustre.
You might be able to remove this with https://github.com/Lord-Kamina/SwiftDefaultApps
I’ve opted to remove Zoom instead.
Yep, they have lost my trust too, especially with their terrible response on the blog. And I don't trust that they simply won't remove my mitigations if I have that app on my system again.
