Unsanitary Firefox gets fix for critical HTML-handling hijack flaw

Re: By Firefox 60 Market-share with be 0.1% sadly

Cool - looks like you also stopped paying attention to the changes in Firefox since then, eh? FF's ads in the browser was Brandon Eich's baby - who left and started his own browser ("Brave") that does that very thing. FF is better for it.

Kernel-memory-leaking Intel processor design flaw forces Linux, Windows redesign

Re: Is it time?

Short answer: no. The problem is in the cpu, not the OS, so your course of action is to either buy an AMD cpu, or use an older version of an OS that doesn't apply the throttling and then make sure you only use trusted software (e.g. an audio or video production workstation where you control every application that is installed and you don't browse random websites). Switching from Windows to a *n*x while keeping your affected cpu trades the same problem for the same problem.
