I know see popups asking:</p><blockquote><p>example.com wants to access other apps and services on this device<br /><a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-personal-device-local-network-permissions-firefox" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">Learn more</a></p></blockquote><p>and here I can read:</p><blockquote><p><strong>What is considered “device apps and services”?</strong><br />“Device apps and services” are your personal computer and all the applications installed on it.</p></blockquote><p>What? Why would a website want to know “all the applications” installed on my pc, and why would I allow that?</p><p>But more to the point: Had I allowed this, what would <a href="https://social.magnetic-ink.dk/tags/firefox" rel="tag nofollow noreferrer noopener">#<span>Firefox</span></a> actually return to the website? Does any of you know? And is there an <a href="https://social.magnetic-ink.dk/tags/api" rel="tag nofollow noreferrer noopener">#<span>API</span></a> so that I can try asking for ther information myself?</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.fedi.dk/topic/7fdeb963-0445-4bed-a6bc-c565f36d607f/hey-askfedi</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Sun, 26 Jul 2026 07:49:03 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://forum.fedi.dk/topic/7fdeb963-0445-4bed-a6bc-c565f36d607f.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jul 2026 06:41:07 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl></channel></rss>
