    Eh. Like I said… financial shit I don’t care about.

    Spectre wasn’t even Firefox’s fault. It was a CPU vulnerability.

    In the end, if an open source browser cannot step up, some other will and take its place. I’m okay with that.

      You may not care about financial shit, but that doesn’t change the reality of the situation. My point is precisely that the financial costs are so prohibitive, that the most likely scenario is that no one will be capable of stepping up long term.
