I'm happy to use a third party client to browse twitter...
- jeffjose 14y agoWhile this gets you over this minor inconvenience , is it really worth the risk of exposure to malwares?
- kylemaxwell 14y agoYou're presuming right now that the detection is accurate and that, if it is, third-party Twitter clients would be susceptible to the same vectors. You have an exposure risk every time you use the Web; managing that risk is part of what we do as users (and, to a greater degree, as professionals).
- magicalist 14y agoif you're ready to manage that risk (based on gut instinct that this is a false positive?), just click through. I don't see the issue there for users. The real issue is false positives from the website's point of view, since the vast majority of users won't click through by design.
