I think that when I install an app, typically it will tell me up front how much disk space is required. For example, in the Mac App Store, the size of the app is at the top of the page.

> Should those also be limited to a few MB?

I also want to highlight that many/most websites that think of themselves as apps are at odds with their users in that perception. As an engineer, I know full well that e.g. the URL https://homedepot.com is powered by a sophisticated set of apps. But most users think it's a website.

This is important because people do & should have a different relationship with software they have chosen to install on their machines and websites. Yes, I know e.g. Figma.com does complex client-side stuff. Every Figma user would click a dialog to grant permission for it to do what it needs to do.

The problem is the current state of the art is that literally any website can spam up your disk and you don't even know. If I visit the website for a local radio station, or an e-commerce site, or university, or a site that will tell me what time it is now in a different time zone...I do not expect that it will download tons of data and store it on my disk in case I come back. That some engineers think that is reasonable is why the browser sandboxes need reinforcement.
