There was a time when every browser hack made headlines, now it has to involve something big like specter to get even noticed. Browsers and browser based applications still feature heavily at Pwn2Own style competitions, but YOLO lets add more pointless features with bug ridden APIs with every browser update.

I guess since I'm not in browser development, I'm used to the idea of contacting a known good server from my code, but my known good server being accessible from anyone on the internet. Both are important, it's just interesting to see it written only from the other point of view.
