About TCP/IP (net.connect) for the browser: It is possible and it will
be done, but i assume if in a fake form.

About warnings:

They (the very end user) will be warned.
They will not understand that warning.
They will not understand all of those warnings.
They will not read warnings anymore.
They will decide to click on the left button as fast as they can on
any future dialog that has some text and one to three buttons.
They will decide to think that vendors only show those dialogs to tell
them that they are in a save harbor.

Then, there is just one dialog between us and all of their private stuff.

Hooray AppMarkets ;-)
