Let's not go too far - Meltdown and Spectre is not an excuse to shut everything down. They existed for years before and I'm sure issues will exist for years after.
- madez 9y ago> They existed for years before and I'm sure issues will exist for years after. How is that an argument for more lenient rather than more extreme measures?
- verletx64 9y agoI wasn't arguing for making anything for lenient, I just meant that WebGL is not necessarily suddenly a bad thing just because of Meltdown/Spectre.
- madez 9y agoWe need everything but more attack surface. Do you really think the WebGL runtimes are safe and don't leak data through a side channel, possibly combined with the running JavaScript code? To make matters worse, the hardware is opague, running unknown firmware.
