hmm interesting. Other thing to add is if we treat it as a ssh server , we actually won't try to go out and break things.

But I think that was the whole point of arc , to break the convention and be something completely new

and I have a reason why

They were competing with the giants called google , safari , firefox which have insanely large funding and their whole point was trying to sell something later built on this arc browser.

and since chrome , firefox etc. don't try to come up with these ideas because well security reasons (which I agree to / as seen in the post)

I think arc wanted to seperate itself from chrome / firefox and that's why they became a bit reckless you could say since this exploit was available.

Also the other thing I want to convey , is that "With that, I don't see much exploit potential in learning stats like the number of cores on your machine"

this was only recently discovered. Just imagine the true amount of exploits in these proprietory solutions which we don't know about.

Yeh. Just like a ssh server , I would personally like the source code to be available but developing browsers is time consuming and money intensive for developers but ladybird exists , but its in beta.

that being said , not open source is also that private , (xz) , but atleast it got discovered way quickly and was able to mitigate it quickly
