I’ve noticed the same problem lately, my normal Home directory sub-folders (Pictures, Videos, etc…) are not visible/available when attempting to download files in Chromium.
This is completely normal since Firejail blocks some parent folders for safety. Therefore, browsers are able to download files inside Desktop and Downloads folders only.
thx for this reply. i assumed that’s what it was. however, what’s weird, is that firefox has almost complete filesystem access for me. any ideas why that is? should i be worried, or just use firejail to restrict? thx
UPDATE: nevermind. I compared chromium-common.profile and firefox-common.profile, which were included in their respective profiles, and they simply differ in what they whitelist. Interesting.
According to me
It’s good Thing
Don’t forbidden it
Some files is locked like videos ,pictures and others
I think it’s done by firejail
When using firefox by this , no ome get sniff in ypur pc by XSS. And other
I also very hate this firejail due to this type activity
But it required
I dont see any reason why anyone would want something more complex like bitbox, Firejail is really simple and it does the job well and on top of all of that its all over the place, which means you wont be left with any weird interactions on the scale of something that isnt ingrained into everything at the level firejail is. If anybody needs the docs to it, its a lot simpler than one might think. If you want to read more about its implementation you can do so here!
