@gte @benthompson @gruber @mtomweb @chrismlacy Having a single browser engine as the only line of defense against vulnerabilities is "not ideal", especially Safari/Webkit. Every browser except Safari was quickly patched against Spectre/Meltdown, they already had architecture in place they could leverage to contain the issue.
