> memory safety of pdf.js in Firefox reduces attack surface over the C++ PDFium in Chromium
I thought Firefox abandoned PDF.js a few month ago.
There are a few areas in which one browser has the edge over the other in terms of security (e.g. JIT hardening in Chromium's V8 gives it an advantage over Firefox, memory safety of pdf.js in Firefox reduces attack surface over the C++ PDFium in Chromium), but these are nowhere near the old days of "Chrome has a sandbox and Firefox doesn't" or even "Chrome isolates tabs from each other and Firefox doesn't".
