Just the other day I went to a website to flash a new firmware on a zigbee dongle. Straight from a chrome tab. wild!

Then it hit me: the only thing keeping a rogue website from sweeping your entire life is a browser's permissions popup.

Crazy right? On the whole I think it’s great and wonderful that the web platform has grown into the gorgeous monster that it is. I mean what better than a unified technology to serve us all the worlds information from any device in a basically sandboxed environment. I’m even all for the beautiful way The platform has developed rapidly added capabilities on how the language JavaScript HTMLNCSS has evolved. I think all that is wonderful. And I really enjoyed the ride.

But all of that growth and integration comes with these vulnerabilities, and so the cyber and DLP control aspect of web browsers is a very important one.

If this resonates with you, i invite you to check out my company’s project BrowserBox on GitHub
