> I would like to see internet access treated as an OS permission.
That would be nice, but it wouldn't fix the problem I've been talking about, because you would have to give your browser the internet access permission, and the OS has no way of knowing which of the connections your browser is making are legitimate and which are not. Only you know that, which means you would have to continually be interrupting your browsing to approve or disapprove connections.
