Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.
A user could start a workspace from a factory link, which points to a project with potentially malicious code. While there isn't much we can do about users running malicious devfiles, we can at least ask them (during workspace startup) whether or not they trust the source.
Describe the solution you'd like
When starting a workspace from a factory link, prompt the user to confirm that they trust the content of the workspace they are starting. If they do not, then abort the workspace startup. This could be done with a dialog.
Of course it would be annoying to have to do this every time. There should probably be a setting where the user can disable this dialog from being shown.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I'm open to any other ideas 😄
