We are talking about users of the Linux operating system. Many of them do know what a VM is. If they don't, or if they expect to be able to run untrusted programs willy nilly, then the benefit of Firefox doing this is, again, basically zero.
As I cannot reply to your reply, I will write the response here. By using Wayland, surely the direct benefit of this change to you is zero...
- Gigachad 4y agoI use Linux and I don't audit the source and dependencies of every single program I use or run things in VMs. I do expect wherever possible that programs run in a sandbox with the most limited set of permissions. I have been running almost everything in Flatpak on Wayland and it seems to clearly be the future.
