Does anyone know what the author meant by this? Are they talking about a web browser run on the TV?
- tredre3 6mo agoYes they are. Historically browsers have been vectors to gain control of locked down devices. It's been very useful for game consoles, amongst others: PSP, Vita, Switch, Wii, and DS all had browser exploits that bootstrapped more permanent and system-wide exploits to run homebrew.
