Ok wtf. So you're telling me that #Google #Chrome's #V8 #JavaScript engine was more #insecure than #Mozilla's #Spidermonkey after all these years? Because I'm pretty sure SM has been already doing plenty of the things mentioned in this article (I've touched on SM code plenty of times, so much more than I wanted because I worked on separating Spidermonkey from the monolithic #libxul, it's still hurting my brain...), even before the #Quantum rewrite. So even #PaleMoon which has been commonly trashed for being "old and insecure" is apparently more secure than Chrome, but most crucially it also disproves the long-standing blind belief by security freaks out there that Chrome is "more secure" than #Firefox when it's the other way around on many fronts...

MoeNavigator development can continue after I finally found the source of the memory leaks in the browser engine. They were caused by an abstract class that didn't have a virtual destructor, causing undefined behavior. With that big problem out of the way, version 0.0.1 of the engine may soon be released, followed by version 0.1 of MoeNavigator. There are only a few tasks left before the release:
