That's all true - we mention these directly on our FAQ ([redacted]) -- many are issues we plan to address as soon as possible -- the application 100% works in terms of functionality, but is definitely still under heavy development! |

That's a very understated way to say "we run stuff on your computer that require root privileges". It is explained later but there's no such thing as too many warnings about running 3rd party code under root on my computer.

Who doesn't? Like, accessing my bank account? Accessing my email, where my bank account would sent 2FA/password reset? Uploading my ID photo to one of the dozens sites now that require that? I'm not sure we know each other well enough so I'd entrust you access to all that. Not even if that allows me to read Vanity Fair. I guess I'm one of those "very" individuals?
> Incoggo adds a file to your system’s sudoers.d folder that whitelists specific commands from requiring a sudo password to perform
Erm, does that mean any other tool would be free to use those commands under root now? Probably not the best idea.
> Incoggo also installs a trusted root certificate in your system keystore
Do I understand right that this gives it full untraceable MITM capability to any site I visit? I remember the government of Kazakhstan tried to do that to their citizens. They did it in a stupid way. They should have promised all citizens free access to Wall Street Journal.

Unfortunately, they kind of are.
