It's not about stopping them from getting mp3s, but whatever.
"We want better dialogs that aren't technobabble". I agree
wholeheartedly.
"We want to allow for (and default to) some level of auth before
allowing installing software/writing to outside your home dir". Again
in agreement.
Your browser question is only so so. Sure you can install stuff to
your home dir, but you can't compromise other users on the system.
