Millenials here. We did. A lot of a lot. And nobody cared.
Even today on HN most use chrome instead of firefox and mac instead of linux and. If you can't even convince the biggest nerds that supporting alternatives is important, what chances do you have?
- hollerith 1y agoThis nerd cares about security, and Chrome is significantly more secure than Firefox and Mac is significantly more secure than any Linux distro.
- fsflover 1y agoIf you actually cared about security, you would use Qubes OS. With the latter, security of Firefox is more than sufficient for everything.
- hollerith 1y agoMacOS is more secure than Qubes IMO.
- fsflover 1y agoYou should just compare the number of CVEs. Qubes security is stronger even than the one of Xen used in servers: https://www.qubes-os.org/security/xsa/#statistics https://www.qubes-os.org/security/xsa/#statistics. Even Snowden uses Qubes. No single app has access to any data thanks to hardware-assisted virtualization. Last time a VM escape in the modern Qubes implementation was discovered in 2006 by the Qubes founder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Pill_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Pill_(software).
- zerreh50 1y ago99% of the time security is about securing the product from the user. Just like Google's action we're commenting under
- dmbche 1y agoI must be a shit nerd, I've never in my life thought about browser safety. How the hell is chrome significantly more secure than firefox?
- tgma 1y ago> Mac is significantly more secure than any Linux distro. Citation needed.
