Huge security risk. This should never be introduced

Unless we do the same what discord does: dialog for the user to either accept it or refuse it

[Xenius97]

I don't think so, if user need to accept it like requestBrowserDomains()
or only allow whitelisted domains

True. We'll need to make sure to display the entire URL, and a clear warning that it can be dangerous.

Combination between this and Tracer's proposal perhaps. Although the dialog Tracer proposes should be sufficient. Whitelisting an entire domain, and then just letting it happen at any point thereafter would still be a bad idea.

This was requested before... i hope this time we actually allow it

we just need to prompt the user before opening the url is not that problematic

[Fernando-A-Rocha]

The web is full of url redirects. I think having this with a prompt before opening the url is more than enough

Skill issue, add prompt showned every time you try do this + require first to add url to whitelist. - discord can do this, you can too

And whitelist should be per server ( downloaded resources too ) because of https://developer.chrome.com/blog/http-cache-partitioning?hl=en

The same should apply for my pr with drag and drop onto mta window, add prompt, configuration ( by default disabled ).

If someone is stupid he get hacked like recently i even reported server to hosting provider due to owner stupidity.

I would personally use it to open website to documentation of my server

AND ALSO, if we talking about security risk, why noobody over the years configured some tool to find memory leak, to find where mta write/read outside buffers?
