Auto-generated Application Support folders
I keep strict control over the files and directories on my machine and today I noticed that 1Password 8 (8.10.3) on macOS (13.2.1) creates the following directories in Application Support whenever it launches:
Arc/User Data/NativeMessagingHosts
Google/Chrome Beta/NativeMessagingHosts
Google/Chrome Canary/NativeMessagingHosts
Google/Chrome Dev/NativeMessagingHosts
Microsoft Edge/NativeMessagingHosts
Microsoft Edge Beta/NativeMessagingHosts
Microsoft Edge Canary/NativeMessagingHosts
Microsoft Edge Dev/NativeMessagingHosts
Vivaldi/NativeMessagingHosts
And inside each of these is the file com.1password.1password.json
.
I see that the JSON file is a setting file for the 1Password browser extension and points to the local location of the browser helper app. However I don't have any of these applications installed so I do not want their folders in my Application Support folder (I know I am a bit pedantic about this sort of thing). Preferably whatever script it is that 1Password 8 runs on launch should first check if these directories exist before placing the JSON file in them.
Is this the right place to post this?
