If it’s important to you that an application doesn’t need to cooperate, then that’s something Snap has an answer for. I don’t remember the name of it or if it got past the proposal stage, but it’s like “if an app opens a file, intercept the syscall and show a dialog.” I think it’s a disgusting solution to a non-problem (it was demoed with Firefox which has dutifully cooperated with our shit for decades). But it’s interesting :)
