Yeah, I used to use the app store version of Slack because it was sandboxed. (I later switched to having Safari run it as a web application.) Even if I trusted them, the sandbox would be a layer of protection against bugs.

I'd love to have an an easy way to wrap that sandbox around non-app-store applications.



Developers can still choose to enable sandbox for apps delivered outside of App Store. Some of them simply choose to not do so: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/hardened-...

Sadly.

For those that don't know, an easy way to check is to right-click a column in Activity Monitor and enable the Sandbox column.
