Firefox's plugin run in containers (who know what they mean by "plugin security" anyway, does that mean click to play on java?)
and Firefox manages its own memory and has different memory segments for each tab (some kind of sandboxing).
It's also hard to argue what's industry standard in this area, and whats not, because well, there's no real industry standard. Proof of it is that the 3 leaders with close enough market shares implement different things.
Finally, where's Opera, as usual.
- scott_s 15y agoWhat you described is not sandboxing by any definition I've heard. For me to consider something "sandboxing," the thing being sandboxed must be executed with restricted privileges so that it cannot modify the surrounding system, and it cannot interact with other things being sandboxed.
