   I'm temporarily switching to #Firefox due to this high severity zero-day on #Chrome:

   There should be an update soon, but at least the rpm for Linux isn't ready yet.

     Before someone says that #Chrome is shit due of this, keep in mind that #Firefox's security sandbox has always lagged behind Chrome, and it seems that the GPU process is still not being sandboxed on Linux:

     On the other hand, I find Firefox much improved since the last time I gave it a try. We'll see how it manages my usual load of 20-25 open tabs...

     @janci Very interesting... it seems similar to Chrome's user profiles, but without being subtly linked to a Google account.
