I am very confused by this update message I got from KDE Discover when updating my Fedora Linux.

Bitwarden wants new permissions:

Home folder access: Can read and write files in the following locations without asking for permission:

Below, it lists what look to be profile folders for chrome, edge, chromium, firefox and “mozilla”.

In addition, it wants system folder access: some xdg-config paths for several browsers and the Downloads folder!

What is this?

I cannot find any explanation for this.

Going to uninstall anyways, no thanks.

Rather use the website then, until I setup my own VaultWarden, unless I figure out a good sync for KeePass.

      Well, I just got rid of the app so that’s that. And I don’t have a github login at hand. If someone can open an issue, feel free. I would like some answers on why they did this. Or is this because of flathub somehow?
