Because they mostly don't matter. Where is a practical, real world exploit? (This means not POC that works under perfect conditions.)

- bserge 6y agoYou're talking to people who are paranoid about Google using their search history to show more relevant ads... Just disable mitigations and let everyone else decide for themselves. I do understand the need for top security in enterprise applications. But for personal use, all of this seems a bit ridiculous. I've disabled mitigations on every computer in my home, will enable if I get burned. ~10-20% performance difference - I consider it a decent tradeoff. But then again, I don't stress much about being hacked or privacy. It's not worth the mental effort, plus I'm a nobody and I accept that.
- icedchai 6y agoEven for many enterprise applications it is not necessary. What is the point of enabling mitigations on a single tenant database server, for example?
