I'm surprised there's no Chromium or Firefox which removes microphone, webcam, js local file access, and this new vector, to name just a few.
Alternatively Servo would be modular enough that I could build a custom version without many features.
- masklinn 11y agoServo is a rendering engine, the DOM and JS are currently provided by Gecko,
- cm3 11y agoOf course, but it needs to be modular in order for users to omit parts. You may have misinterpreted my note.
- masklinn 11y agoThe things you want to omit have nothing to do with Servo is the point of my comment. Servo's modularity is irrelevant to removing webcam access. Which incidentally I believe you can already do in both Firefox and Chrome by disabling the MediaSource API altogether.
- cm3 11y agoServo isn't strictly just the HTML+CSS part, if you have a look at the project's sources. Modularity is relevant because if stuff isn't modular and has code paths to deal with missing functionality, you'll have a much increased burden, aka a fork. In Firefox (and maybe Chrome, don't use, so not sure) you can disable it in the configuration but that could easily be enabled again by some script or extension.
