 **If using Linux it is highly recommended to disable write protection** (needing root to overwrite files) for your Discord install if you have it enabled. It is not much of a security defecit as Windows has no write protection as well. This enables updating the asar and potentially host updating further on.
 
 ## Config
-You can configure OpenAsar via `settings.json` (found in your Discord app data / user data), under a `openasar` object. Keep in mind most options are defaults for good reason, they may temporarily brick your client until you revert your changes. The avaliable options are:
+You can configure OpenAsar via `settings.json` (found in your Discord app data / user data), under a `openasar` object. Keep in mind most options are defaults for good reason. The avaliable options are:
 - `quickstart` (bool, default false) - whether to use Quickstart (experimental)
 - `skipStartupUpdateChecks` (bool, default false) - skips startup update checking (Linux-only)
 - `autoupdate` (bool, default true) - whether to autoupdate OpenAsar after Discord startup
 - `multiInstance` (bool, default false) - whether to enable multi-instance
+- `ssoeAllowlist` (bool, default true) - whether to use safer custom method of opening external urls (true) or normal Discord's method (false)
