I'm skeptical of that. Of course no one is actually targetting whatever vulnerabilities there are, and getting rid of JS helps a lot. But is all the code sandboxed or anything?
- hrjet 12y agoDid you mean the browser code itself? We are actually trying to do that in gngr[1]. (1) https://gngr.info https://gngr.info
- technomancy 12y agoGiven that eww (the latest Emacs web browser) is written in elisp, it's safe from buffer overflows and such, which are the most common form of vulnerability in software written in C. The actual parsing code uses libxml, which isn't elisp, but is one of the most widely-deployed parsers around. Obviously there's no such thing as perfect security, but I would guess it's way more difficult to exploit than your conventional browsers.
