if i run my browser in a sandbox, does that mean i can freely allow flash/javascript, since everything is contained? why don't more people suggest sandboxing their browsers for security?

yes altho it should be noted that even sandboxes can be broken out of.
so nothing is guaranteed but it is better. its another layer.
>why don't more people suggest sandboxing their browsers for security?
dont know, maybe cos its one more step and people are lazy?
>>51622375
Browsers are already run in a sandbox.
>>51622554
interesting. didnt know that. all of them?
>>51622533
What? Pretty sure your browser can freely read/write to your system.(ie why people get infected)

>even sandboxes can be broken out of
Of course it's technically possible, but the chances of common malware/trojans breaking out of sandboxes seem unlikely to me.
I almost wish someone could link me to some malicious sites to test my sandbox settings.

>unlikely to me.
allow me to google an example for you.

uh no.
I'm not talking about shitty embedded sandboxes that browsers have.
I meant using something like Sandboxie.
>>51622375
In a sandbox, you're totally protected. Go ahead, download all the CP you want. No one will find out...

>I meant using something like Sandboxie.
Then why didnt you say that? Geez, its like you're a fucking idiot or something.
>>51622732
What does this have to do with CP?
I'm talking about being protected from a random flash ad installing malicious shit.
It should be the equivalent of running your browser in a VM.
>>51622375
Because then you get sand everywhere, sand is fucking annoying.
>>51622766
VM's can be broken out of.
>>51623717
Nothing is perfect. Anything can be broken or circumvented.
That isn't the point here.
>>51623717
Either answer the question or shut the fuck up, faggot. Tip-toeing around the issue makes you look weak.
>>51623686
It's coarse and rough and it gets everywhere.
