    The Windows kernel is actually pretty solid. Its is the rest of the system that’s the problem.

      Except all the exceptions, like edge having memory read/write right without protection. Or so I have heard.

        Source?

        Edge is based on Chromium which is arguably one of the more secure pieces of software in existence. If it wasn’t it would be exploited immediately.

        Meanwhile Dillo is some hobby project that only has 14 contributors. It lacks the sandboxing provided by bigger browsers and has very few users let alone security testers.

          True, that was before they based it on chromium, when it was so slow it was painful.

          It wasn’t a long time ago (a couple of years), so I bet the kernel still is in that shape, which was my point even if I didn’t get it through …

            That’s expected given the size and nature of Chromium. You are literally running arbitrary code from a foreign server.

            The Linux kernel had more vulnerabilities
