I'm still worried about how secure Firefox is in relation to Chrome. From what I understand, Firefox exploits only go for $30k at Pwn2Own, while Chrome exploits go for $80k. Should I be worried?
- StavrosK 9y agoIt depends, are you worth between $30k and $80k to someone? If yes, I would switch to Chrome.
- symlinkk 9y agoIt's not like someone would buy an exploit and only use it on one person.
- callahad 9y agoI'm not sufficiently familiar with Chrome's architecture to speak comparatively, but Firefox Quantum (57) has a significantly improved sandbox thanks to finally going fully multi-process (full status at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Sandbox https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Sandbox), and replacing C++ components with Rust prevents certain classes of potentially exploitable issues at compile time.
- orthecreedence 9y agoI'd be more worried about chrome tracking and selling my data than I would about Firefox being p0wned.
