Like a privacy based fully open source browser. Wouldnt it be more hackable because every one know the script and is a glopal privacy based gpay alternative possible ? What about targeted hacking is someone using closed source application more better off than someone with ooen source ?
I do not think that ever worked.
No but I sure have dealt with a lot a stupid decisions for years because somebody thought it would and used that as an excuse to be wildly insecure to save time.
It works if working is simply not knowing there are exploits happening.
During the browser war years when M$ forced everyone into using Internet Explorer via their OS monopoly, malware exploded. It was so easy to get a broken system because IE was tightly coupled to the Windows. I remember all of us having to fix our parents computers, then install a ton of anti-virus software to prevent it. Identity theft and tons of other exploits were rampant.
Some people found and published some these bugs, and published them on various sites… and what was microsoft’s response? To sue those sites out of existence, and let the malware keep stacking up. The problem really didn’t go away until Opera and Firefox came along.
