How big of a difference it makes obviously depends on your OS and how you run your browser.
I guess your choices are
1. Educate yourself on the nitty-gritty and make an educated decision
2. Reason from first principles and apply general best-practices
3. Trust your vendors fully unless provided proof of vulnerability
I suggest 1 and 2.
> Surely if an exploit can go as far as to gain access to the browser pw mgr, they can do basically anything userspace, including execute payloads against all the other pw mgrs on the system?
If that is true for you, I really suggest hardening your system.
- perching_aix 2y agoYou basically didn't say anything. Vague suggestions that I'm uneducated on the "nitty-gritty" (compared to you?), that I'm not reasoning based on "first principles" and am not applying "general best practices", and that my system in particular should be "hardened", despite working like ~every other, are not productive, nor insightful.
- 3np 2y agoYou expected a productive, meaningful and actionable response to the question "Aren't they process isolated?" without even hinting at which OS and browser you're considering? Vague question, vague answer.
- perching_aix 2y agoYes I did. Or alternatively, no reply at all. > vague answer You mean vague and condescending "answer".
