unveil(2) is an OpenBSD-specific feature, although you could accomplish something very similar with Linux and another sandboxing tool (or SELinux, but that might be overkill). I highly recommend you read the man page for unveil(2), it's very cool: https://man.openbsd.org/unveil

> unveil(2) is an OpenBSD-specific feature

Yes, I am aware. I thought it was pretty obvious that when I said "it's a chrome feature" I didn't mean "unveil(2)" but being able to restrict access to the filesystem. Which is possible with both linux and openbsd, of course. Alas, the downvoters seem to disagree.
