The Same Origin Policy - Hacker History
[media=https://youtu.be/bSJm8-zJTzQ]
I miss the way the internet was before all this security but in a big way it's necessary. You can look up everything I'm about to write and verify it, Because I'm about to go off and Some of you won't believe I know what I'm talking about, but I do.
Very recently I've been making the journey to get my system set up the way I want with Directory OPUS, WSL, Ifranview for image viewing WITH the plugins to view Webp files directly.
SumatraPDF for Epubs , cbrs, PDFS.
and Process explorer as well as the System Internal files with Filemon and such in order to check if a process is actually doing anything and what files it's accessing if so if it appears hung.
Anyway, This means effectively I see what processes are running on my system in a better way than the typical Task manager. What do I see with respect to Firefox , and by the way it's the same with Chrome.
I see it's chief process and then I see dozens and dozens of Child processes and my first thought is "God that eats up a lot of Random access memory that's so wasteful." but then I start researching why they'd do this and it's because script kiddies would very frequently find exploits to crash web browsers and start crashing people's browsers so they created Process isolation such that one Child process crashing wouldn't take down your web browser or worse entire operating system and Force a Reboot.
Basically the gross waste of Random access memory is a Price we're all paying for the History of malicious hacking.
Every time there's new security like Cross Origin policy there's some kind of nasty tradeoff where either things break or on the other side of things Resources get spent that wouldn't if we didn't need security. but we do.
