Chromium obtained from other sites may vary in that regard. The point is that Chromium downloaded from the two sites I mentioned above, the Eloston site and the site do not show that pop up dialog box asking for permission to "Allow incoming connections". I do not know why Chromium doesn't get a signed certificate, nor do I know the process required to get one.

If my understanding is correct, that is exactly why Apple issues signed certificates to software developers. I think you are somewhat 'overthinking' that "An incoming one is when an exterior connection is made to my machine, and specifically the program mentioned, without it first initiating it, which should be a security concern. So you have to have the option to "allow it to accept incoming connections". The issue here is Chromium is not officially "downloaded signed software", nor is it "built-in software" like Safari I really don't understand why you don't want the browser to accept incoming connections, only outgoing ones.Ĭlick to expand.Look at the Security and Privacy system preference pane, then Firewall and Firewall Options.īy default, "Automatically allow downloaded signed software to receive incoming connections" is set to ON. See Post #9 above for a link to that prior discussion. The previous "xattr -csr /Applications/Chromium.app" setting does not work in every case and every Chromium build I have tried (personal experience only), but I don't think it will hurt to try it.

The Chromium builds available at also seem free of that annoying pop up message about allowing incoming connections, and it has the latest version available today, unlike the Eloston site, shown above. I have no proof, but I believe it depends on the build settings, or perhaps even the order of the args or settings used when compiling the binaries. In regard to another related aspect, I have found that The Eloston builds of Chromium, available here ( click once on the orange-red "eloston-chromium" text, then double click the orange version number after the yellow "Current version:") will not pop up that annoying message about accepting incoming connections, while other builds will, despite having the settings in the Security & Privacy preference pane / Firewall settings being set correctly. Oh, by the way, you could be more careful with phrases like "for sheep", which can be taken in several ways.

Can you explain your view in more detail?
