- geraldhh 3y agoeven security focused products like foxit's are probably best known for their vulnerabilities
- autoexec 3y agoI can't remember the last time a year passed without at least one sandbox escape discovered in chrome. There was one less than two months ago, and perhaps there's already been another patched after the start of this year (https://www.securityweek.com/google-patches-six-vulnerabilities-with-first-chrome-update-of-2024/ https://www.securityweek.com/google-patches-six-vulnerabilit...). It'd be much better to support a sane subset of features than to allow a document to do everything and anything leaving you to just hope that the sandbox holds up to protect the rest of your system against the inevitable vulnerabilities.
