Comment on Chrome thinks Firefox is unsafe!
kattenluik@feddit.nl 8 months agoDoes scoop.sh just magically make it appear? Does it use pigeon transport?
It all uses the internet, using a browser to download things that are only available using HTTP anyways is and has always been harmless and completely fine.

Scoop is a proper package manager so it installs the binaries and adds shortcuts to them.
As for where it gets the binaries it comes from a manifest that gives a source URL and a checksum.

That sounds suspiciously like scoop.sh would be downloading the program from the internet, and a wise person once told me “Don’t download programs off the internet.” Not today, Satan!

Off the internet is trusting your browser and search engine not to mislead you. Not to mention a direct download is much faster and more efficient

And why should we trust Scoop not to mislead us? Are you their CEO or security advisor?
And why should we trust you? You are also on the internet.
