@thomholwerda @stroughtonsmith @gruber A User needs to choose between a number of icons and names representing browser apps. Without having some knowledge about the apps behind them, how can they compare them to make a decision? That doesn’t seem like a good User experience. Sure, Apple could have replaced that list with the equivalent of app store cards for each browser, but does that really help?
In other words it requires the User to possess knowledge they may not have.
@Br3nda @ben @Edent @jensimmons Whether you can paste it or not doesn’t seem to be relevant. It’s already copied to the clipboard, which would make it vulnerable.
I wouldn’t try to copy some random string to see if I could paste it into a password field. I would copy an actual password, then try to paste it. At that point, wound’t it be too late?
