Personal preference to avoid these sorts of exploits is by using a virtual machine with a browser VM from Microsoft, although by default those browser VMs are run in admin mode.
- vardump 7y agoBe aware that there have been plenty of virtual machine escape vulnerabilities. If enough people did same, the attackers would start to exploit that vector. Or a target interesting enough. VLC might run quite a bit worse as well, because hardware video decoding is most likely unavailable in a VM.
