This is scary news to me. I usually assume Firefox and Chromium on linux do a reasonable job of balancing security and usability. Is the situation really that bad?
- quesera 3y agoIt is not that bad. A browser sandbox escape would be red-alert news and fixed within hours.
- ziml77 3y agoUnless there is an exploit that lets a webpage escape the sandbox, they will have access to none of those things listed without permission
- kaba0 3y agoAn npm install is much more dangerous than the browser, imo. But the fact remains, there is basically no usable security on linux desktops and it is a shame (especially when built on top the exact same core we have very secure systems)
