A little tidbit for you as you continue your praise of the 'new' ff! (Yes I understand

Which is exactly what ff57's use of Rust addresses.

Of the 17 Chrome vulnerabilities listed, 7 would never have happened if they were using Rust instead of C++.

Sorry Dave - - - - I'm finding your posts actually quite funny. I have found browsers

to be this fairly useless things that purport to do x and don't do it even tolerably and
when I forward a list of security issues you tell me that 'some' of them wouldn't be there

if they used programming language x (or is it y or z or does it matter?).

As long as they have these ever reoccurring list of security issues - - - well

they ALL suck - - - fair enough?
