While I understand where you're coming from- I'd look at it slightly differently- Microsoft has a huge cloud business where people access outlook using web. If MS can secure it, apple won't be that far behind. Then again I don't know if apple has ever cared for user security much...
Anyway, I didn't downvote...

Sourcegraph is the same company that hijacked the langserver.org domain to almost completely remove credit for the original author of language server protocol.
Not a good team to be on.

So the sense I'm making is- that most of thesr attacks need to be supervised and need you to be a target in particular?

One question- do these vulnerabilities , including spectre and meltdown only help in stealing information or can they also hijack your computer to do arbitrary things?

Tagging on with a similar query. I am on Windows 10. If I were to run Firefox in sandboxie, would be the attacker have to deal with an extra layer of security or does it offer no help?
