- mrec 2mo agoEh, pretty much all my network exposure is via Firefox, which is actively supported.
- dieortin 2mo agoYour network exposure is via the windows network stack first, then Firefox.
- mrec 2mo agoMost of the CVEs I've seen for that stack are in DNS, and Firefox's DNS-over-HTTPS implementation bypasses the OS DNS almost completely in sensible configurations.
- frollogaston 2mo agoThe entire system is doing DNS queries though, like all that phoning home
- bee_rider 2mo agoMS should either fix the RCEs in Windows 10 (it is unsupported but the defects were already there when it was still supported, just undiscovered), or they should refund their customers (since they never managed to release a defect-free version).
- sunaookami 2mo agoThese knee-jerk comments are not very interesting to read.
- frollogaston 2mo agoThey're bluffing that Win10 is "unsupported"
