Yes, and it's only reasonably secure because of years of exploits being found and fixed by some of the best (and very well-funded) software security engineers out there.

That's not true. It's secure because they are stacking OS-sandboxing on top, forcing attackers to find a chain of exploits instead of a single issue in V8

Great news! Deno uses the same runtime as chrome, so you benefit from all those found exploits.

  • While you benefit from the V8 fixes it lacks OS-level sandboxing (see above). Chrome is safe because it stacks security layers. Runtime sandboxing is just one of them and arguably the weakest one.
