Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Perhaps using sandboxing tools, such as firejail and Sandboxie should be proposed?
When untrusted piece of software should be run, the above could reduce risk of disclosing private information/jeopardizing entire OS.
Sandboxie appears to be not open source. Therefore, it is a non-starter in privacy terms.

@Hillside502 Thanks for correction, forgot to recommend FOSS only.
bubblewrap
before we would include software like this, we would need to see research whether these applications really provide a solid sandbox, and not just provide a false sense of security.
Windows 10 have a nativ Sandbox Feature since spring update.
No need for external tools
Would this issue include Flatpak?
most likely.
