The browser has turned into something we need to completely start over, without Google or any of the FAANG crowds' participation.

- usrusr 6y agoHow many far more interesting (for an attacker, any attacker!) things we do in a browser are subject to those exact same attack surfaces? That's a bit like saying that a school library has weak security because the checkout desk wouldn't stand a chance against a focused attack of the Red Army.
