- Safari shows a blank page, downloads it as a file, and auto-displays the content in TextEdit


> auto-displays the content in TextEdit

wow, that's kind of "brave" thing to do for a file marked as `application/binary` mime type. it has `.txt` extension however as filename

of course I have no idea how TextEdit behaves with big binary files, but such apps on Windows/Linux can't handle it well (usually hangs forever/for a long time)


MacOS/Safari has an option to automatically open "safe" files, like text files and other media.


PDFs and ZIPs are also considered as safe despite the format being very complex and huge chances there's an exploitable bug in there.

That's one of the very first things I disable on any Mac.
