What “apps” do you use on a mac?
Probably a ton since macOS apps are literally distributed as .app bundles.
Though there is a difference what store apps and non-store apps can do. I think is about store apps which are “sandboxed” and have to use public api to request then access information which non-store apps can access without.
Google Chrome, VS Code, among others
Well “they” can technically “read” anything your user can.
Apps installed via the MAS have sandboxing applied to them, so this isn't really true.
Yes but chrome is not from MAS. I have none MAS apps installed because they are simply not available via MAS.
Great back to my original question which (mas)“apps” do people actually have installed on their MacBook.
