  • What if this is the new normal? I reckon newer models won’t suddenly stop discovering flaws, right?

    My (non-expert) impression is that what has been recently discovered is a particular category of flaws that had until now not been considered, and that’s why we’re seeing such a surge in found vulnerabilities: everyone and their grandmother is fishing across Linux subsystems for the novel pattern. The optimistic outlook is that there will be a saturation point where nearly all flaws matching this pattern have been found, and the incidence of new reports slows to a trickle.



  • If the “literally any modern website” part is a hard requirement, then I would suggest to go for a fork of modern mainstream browsers with strong privacy/adblocking features. The justification for this is that browser engines can only get so light in terms of complexity and still support modern sites, but sites themselves can be made to be less resource demanding on the browser by selectively blocking unwanted elements. Adblocking is the obvious, blocking unwanted JavaScript would likely be the next best bang for the buck, but even clearing the cache after each session can make the browser feel faster if your bottleneck is memory/cpu instead of the network.
