I don't want programs to be able to read my whole home directory. For example, I'd like to have firefox's read ability restricted to:



owner @HOME/Downloads/ r,
owner @HOME/Downloads/** rwk,
owner @HOME/.mozilla/ r,
owner @HOME/.mozilla/** rwk,



  • plus all the appropriate dirs in .cache, .config etc

Thing about is that apparmor gives my user's reading rights, meaning ff can read everything unless I say



deny @HOME/Documents/ rwk,



Documents will be available for firefox.



Is there no way of denying the reading rights to everything in the home dir with the exceptions being the files I list in the profile?
