Description Patrick Griffis 2018-09-25 11:23:27 PDT 
We currently grant full access to DConf which is not ideal.

The idea is we have a proxy service that limits DConf reads/writes to a specific app-id.

This has overlap with the Flatpak project: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/78

Is this obsolete?
Comment 2 Patrick Griffis 2019-03-22 13:02:32 PDT 
Yes xdg-desktop-portal grew a Settings portal that replaces GTK's usage of DConf so we removed the permission. Custom web extensions will just have to avoid using DConf if they do.
