"A broad variety of memory corruption mitigations have been devised since the mid-1990s, and in the 2000s Microsoft has lead the way with advances including ASLR, DEP, and SeHOP."
No, they didn't lead the way. PaX beat them by at least 5 years, yet they still take credit for this. They didn't even create the Windows version of ASLR in house.
"including industry leading sandboxing"
They're really going to claim that the Edge sandbox is better than Chrome, with no basis?
- wyldfire 12y ago> They're really going to claim that the Edge sandbox is better than Chrome, with no basis? Edge has yet to be exploited at Pwn2Own and Chrome gets exploited every year. Clearly that's a better record. ;)
- yeukhon 12y agoI will take it being sarcastic...otherwise, Edge has only been made available for less than two months.
- burnte 12y agoThis is just marketing puffery. The defense would be "Microsoft was the first to implement ASLR and DEP on Windows, and Edge's sandboxing is the best sandboxing technology available from any Microsoft browser product." Just like AT&T stating they have the "strongest" signal (which is a meaningless metric by itself), or car makers calling their car gets "40% better mileage!" and the * tells you "compared for a 1978 AMC Pacer."
