Set the HISTCONTROLvariable. If it is set to ignorespace then commands entered with a leading-space will not be stored in the history.

I assume since the freelancers are affected by the hack they were informed by the Times.

IMHO part of the issue seems to be the question without any context. I believe people would be more helpful if they had explained what they wanted to do and how GIMP wasn’t the right tool for that specific task. It’s what would make me ignore the question (not scold people, no need).

What this API does is very limited. An API allows programmers access to some part of a system that you’re unable to use without. So it might be all of Reddit’s data, or could be as limited as allowing a webpage to access the back en forward button of your browser. Both are API’s.

The history API allows a webpage to navigate to the next or previous page where you were, without knowing what they are. It’s the same as pressing the “previous“ button by hand. Disabling it will probably break navigation within some sites (besides; don’t think it’s possible or sensible to disable).

That would mean malware can use your local ip and hostfile for mitm attacks.
