On my desktop, I have a second icon called "safe browser". It links to this script.Billtoo wrote:I think the problem is that I created a .spot-status file and chose to run some applications as user spot.....Also, once you try running applications that way there is no undoing it.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
su -l -c "PATH=$PATH LANG=$LANG DISPLAY=$DISPLAY defaultbrowser" spot
So I have two choices - my regular browser and one for the darker corners of the Internet (not that I ever go there).
If I suspect that Spot's browser has been hacked, I can just delete its profile and start again. Nothing is lost and an attack can never go beyond Spot's environment.
