I believe that the default behavior should be to never open a link without a confirmation from the user that this may be done.
This should be enough to avoid malicious links. I do not believe that completely disabling links is a good default, because they are very frequently useful when you read some text file in the terminal window.
Yes, I agree. Ghostty et al don't open-on-click, but on hover they'll show you the URL and there's a keyboard shortcut + click to open. This is much better UX than disabling OSC8.

Yeah, because more complexity where you don't expect it doesn't cost anything?

The sensible default is to have it turned off. And by the looks of it Ghostty versions before this you couldn't even turn it off.

I don’t want random text in my terminal to be a link. I do not find that useful.
If people want it enabled, they can enable it. It shouldn’t be the default.
Surely you realize most people would disagree?

Congratulations, don’t use Ghostty or terminals built on top of libghostty and you don’t have to!
