The post discusses a proposed change to web browser behavior that would restrict websites from probing user local networks, which has raised numerous comments reflecting various perspectives. Users acknowledge that while this is a favorable move to enhance security, it could disrupt many enterprise applications that rely on local network communications. There is a call for a balanced approach that allows for specific permissions while adhering to the principle of least privilege. Users expressed concerns about how this could affect their daily work, particularly in corporate environments where local IPs can refer to internal resources rather than just localhost. Some comments suggest that the definition of 'local' should depend on subnetting rather than private addressing as defined by RFC1918. There is skepticism regarding potential motivation from larger companies like Google, who may benefit from such restrictions by raising barriers for independent hosting. Overall, while the proposal is supported for its security intentions, there are significant concerns about practical implications and its potential to hinder legitimate use cases.
