or maybe the amount of research I could be fucked to do on my phone on a Saturday to reply to some snide lemming topped out at not adding up subranges by hand.
Well, the thing is, you just admitted that your initial comment about Firefox being more vulnerable was based on nothing, since you did your research only after. Then you so quickly went over the data you looked for that you only saw that total that seemed to confirm your unfounded bias, where the tables have that very readable color code to them, making 2015 and 2016 really jump to the eye.
Of course, now that the data you found goes against your bias, you just look to discredit it, instead of thinking “you know, maybe this isn’t as clear-cut as I thought it was”.
So no, no charity there. I’ll keel it for those who act in good faith, thank you.
you know what, that’s fair. I admit I’ve heard so frequently (e.g. from the GOS community) that FF is less secure due to low maintenance, so I read the CVE statistics with that bias. I apologize.
in your view, how ought we to assess the attack surface of things like browsers? I’d love to move back to FF if it’s roughly as secure.

I’m also skeptical of the RCE tallies, the more I look at them, given two JS sandbox escapes for FF were reported just days ago: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2025-73/
I don’t understand why so many people on this site take every opportunity to attack each other, rather than extending the principle of charity.
