This is a weird response. The comment you replied to suggested (very accurately) that there are lots of different ways that browsers leak information, and gave the example of rogue plugins. You (accurately) dismiss rogue plugins, and then go on to write as if that were the only, or even the most important, vector for leaks. But, obviously, no.

Can you cite some other ways browsers leak information besides browser plugins? It's you who are making the extraordinary claim, that Cyph has come up with a way to make browser crypto reliably secure. I think the onus should be on you to demonstrate how carefully you've thought this out.

I'll make you a deal: if you name all the ones I know about, I'll tell you so. :)
