They're quite obviously very different, as browser history doesn't tend to include things like financial details or information subject to an NDA.

The browser history may not, the cache and other local storage may well.

The take-away is simple though: Modern desktop operating systems need a security model where individual applications are sand-boxed and protected from each other.

Legacy systems have security models that protect users from each other, but this isn't the personal computing world we live in anymore.

Only if major browsers are disregarding HTTP cache headers, which is a pretty major allegation. Do you have any evidence to support that?

You're assuming that all sensitive information is served with sensible cache policies. There's a lot more websites than browsers.
