This morning I needed to check which addresses were signers on my multisig.
I was on my phone, and did not have the Safe app installed there.
I realized that I could just look up my address on etherscan, and use the "read contract" feature to get what I want directly.
These are the kinds of additional UX benefits you get if your wallet or application is open source and passes the walkaway test. Giving users access to alternative options often helps in unexpected situations much more mundane than the Safe website "walking away" outright.
(Of course, this exact workflow will eventually have to break because privacy. One way to make an equivalent privacy-friendly workflow is that the user can save a "viewing key" that is an extended version of their address and also contains extra private info, and the block explorers can support it, putting the private info in the hashtag part of the url so it stays client side. Though this has the weakness that encouraging people to paste any kinds of secrets into URLs or webpages is risky; ultimately we just need to be able to do more things through your wallet directly)
