If would be interesting to see what happens on OpenBSD. With pledge(2) and unveil(2) in Firefox, I wonder what it would see. I expect it would see nothing.
I will give it a try and see what happens and if I see anything I will add it here.
I saw nothing of note on OpenBSD. I added the plugin and it prompted me an attempt was made to scan the network, it said it blocked the scan
SO, I guess that is going to be used on all my firefox runs.
Pushing the burden of network permissions management outside the browser, to the OS? Heresy!
To be serious, this has introduced me to sandboxing on BSD via pledge [0] and comparisons against Linux seccomp [1] - thank you!
