It's not about stopping them from getting mp3s, but whatever.

"We want better dialogs that aren't technobabble".  I agree

"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
