Hi!

Yesterday I install a program called OneCast to stream my Xbox One X to my Mac, but when I'm asked to log in to my Microsoft account via Safari I had a box asking me if I accept OneCast to take control of Safari, I say yes thinking I could easily turn it off later on, but I don't know where I need to go. I searched everywhere, on plug-ins etc, nothing.

Is this a one time thing permission? What is it exactly? I'm a little paranoid for this kind of stuff on my computer lol :D

Thanks.
 
Apps control other apps through your System Preferences (not Safari's preferences)
That would be in System Preferences/Security & Privacy, then the Privacy tab.
Click on "Automation" in the left column there.
One Cast should be listed there. You can enable or disable control of those apps from that pane.
Uncheck One Cast, if you want to prever it from controlling other apps.
(But, it likely will function much more smoothly if you allow that control (which it probably needs for normal use)

Thanks a lot! I found it! I have my iMac since 2 years and half and never found out how to check this. Thanks again!
