I'm serious enough about security that I don't trust a very small dev teams skill set developing a browser for the Internet we have today.

And I don't care if my browser is compromised, since the attacker would only get access to an empty VM on Qubes OS.

  • I'm not switching my os to some obscure one for security and it doesn't make sense for me to isolate my browser from my system/files.

    And yes my mail account is more critical than my local files.

    • Xen is not an obscure system. Hardware isolation was broken last time in 2006 by the Qubes founder ("Blue pill software").

      I open my email in a dedicated VM, so only my email provider could attempt to compromise me. Attachments are automatically opened in another, disposable VM.
