ksfetch, little-snitch, the escalation of mutually fooling …

I find it really annoying that participants in cyberspace try to fool each other. Latest example is that Google tries to overcome Little Snitch by placing a ksfetch somewhere random in /tmp such that it appears to be new to Little Snitch all the time.

The final conseqence is, that the user finds himself confronted with an annoying query from Little Snitch every few minutes.

Wouln’t it be much better to explain the user what is happening and give the strong recommendation to allowe ksfetch to access. Also explaing the consequences if the user decides not to do so.

I found a workaround at here, but am not sure if and how long it is going to work.

Folks, return to „do no evil“ and you won’t need such tricks.
