Wow, that thread is horrible. It's just flamebait from both sides. From metroholografix:
> I fear that webkit can not be salvaged
> How about all the huge OSX vulnerabilities that have been discovered?
> You are so out of touch with the state of cybersecurity that it's terrifying. Not only that, but you insist on this nonsensical adversarial attitude towards me when I'm spending my personal time trying to inform you.
> WebKit, which is abysmally bad security-wise to begin with
From the other side:
> If I didn't know any better I would say you were a paid blink shill
> Safari, which runs webkit is safer than Chromium. Because at least we know that Apple cares about security.
In all, I disagree with u/metroholografix's claims that Chrome is inherently significantly more secure than Safari. Sure, it might be if you are comparing yourself with running WebKit in-process and with no sandbox. But with the appropriate protections which macOS provides (which is where I fault u/jmercouris, because he cannot compare his project with Safari because his project doesn't actually implement these security features), it is stupid to move a project to Blink in this case.
