Did anyone else just get a “lesswrong.com is asking to access other apps and services on your device” message from their browser when they opened the site? Anyone know what that’s about?
This was caused by a post that appeared in the feed having an image in it with a localhost:8000 URL. I’m not sure how the post came to be in that state; it might have been a bug in the new editor. I edited the post in question to remove the broken image.
One way that might happen is if the poster had an image generator (or other web service) running on port 8000 on their own machine, and copied an image URL from it directly into a post.

I’ve asked the other devs but would be somewhat surprised if we did this intentionally. What page were you on when you got it?
I was on the home page (www.lesswrong.com) when I got it.
