Apollia my comment wasn't really directed at you. The reason why I'm afraid is because my job and ability to eat rely on technologies such as jS...

however you bring up a interesting point. security flaws in browsers. the Internet was NEVER meant to be safe... it was never designed to be, it was designed to be freedom of information exchange (which, in effect security tries to compromise)

The problem isn't with browsers (as much), or jS, it's with the actual design of the internet, and the fact that it's constantly being used for things it was NEVER EVER suppose to be used for (like Internet banking) If it makes you feel any better, they are designing a new Internet where you will give up your freedom to be anonymous, (i.e. you'll basically need a license to be on this new internet), for the trade off that it'll be much, much more secure.
