Oliver, except it's not a phone, it's a converged computing device; I
use file:/// browsing in my desktop and expect to be able to do the same
when I replace my desktop with my phone, monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

John, I agree that the long run should definitely include an AppArmor
profile on the browser and use content hub when trying to browse outside
of that. I just wanted to make the case that blocking file:/// access
isn't the best way forward, and trying to implement a piece-meal
security policy via UI modifications is building technical debt that's
better left unsolved rather than handled poorly. Thanks for forcing a
clarification.

Thanks
