Google Chrome Hacked?

The person you replied to did not demand anything but instead theorized about a way to fix it.

I love how you assert that literally anybody could check out Chromium and fix the sandbox, a sensitive security-essential part of the browser, with very little effort required to appreciate the source and all of the moving parts.

I love how you assert that literally everybody is too dumb to understand computer programs that they use.

Not dumb, there's just a lot of skills assumed to work on the security components of a modern Web browser. I would never claim that I could turn around and fix this bug as an outside developer. Words in my mouth.

In my opinion, this is one step away from sacrificing a virgin to make it rain. We should control our own software destiny and not just hope other people will do it for us.

Please avoid introducing classic flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say about them.
