dontallow
A launchd agent that answers the local network prompt so you stop seeing it
If Sequoia keeps asking the same question every time Chrome updates, this presses the refusing button for you, and the price is handing a small unsandboxed binary your Accessibility permission.
dontallow dismisses the macOS prompt asking whether an app may find devices on your local network. It attaches an Accessibility observer to UserNotificationCenter, confirms the window is the local network one, checks your pause and allowlist rules, and presses Don't Allow. It never chooses Allow and never touches system files. Install from a Homebrew tap, then grant Accessibility. JP Cassil is clear about the limits: English-localised macOS only, tested on Intel and macOS 26.6, and the grant must be redone after each upgrade.
