Thanks a lot for this clarification. Good to know! For completeness' sake, let me ask another one: Can a web page (and scripts it may be running) loaded in a given browser tab interfere in any way with the content of another tab? (Here, I'm defining "content" as "whatever the user sees". E.g. detecting that the verification process is ongoing, and displaying a "Verification successful" overlay or dialog box counts as interfering in this context: most users won't know that such an overlay or dialog box has a different origin and shall not be trusted.) > This said as an expert of browser technology and web security :) Yay :) Cheers, -- intrigeri _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list Tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to tails-dev-unsubscr...@boum.org.
