I have to use certain Microsoft apps for work, so I strictly only use the web versions as I am on Linux. However, just seen this setting pop up in Word while working on a document. I wonder what in specific they would change, considering i am on Firefox. Does anyone know anything about this? Is there an actual good reason for me to allow this, and if did what would it change?

    Just a wild guess: It could be related to the TrustedScriptURL api. I know O365 makes heavy use of it since I’ve seen errors come across the logs referencing it. Problem is, only Chromium browsers offer this API. Neither FF nor Safari implement it.

      Maybe they should implement cross-browser then, or create a native app. Hell, there are tools to convert any webpage to a electron app.
