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.


It looks like it’s partially related to an issue the integration between the desktop app and browser extension.
This issue at least explains needing <browser_stuff>/NativeMessagingHosts

Idk about the other stuff though
