On one hand browser in virtual is not safe (see [[user:jenda:linux-insecurity#remote_code_execution]] CVE's at bottom to get some insight), on the other it's probably still much safer than when it has access to the rest of the system.

Those two antagonistic demands can be resolved, when machine could be run in "amnesic-mode" once (browsing) an than in "perstistive-mode" in another (fiddling noscript, updating) occasion.+As javascript features look more and [[https://www.vusec.net/projects/anc/|more]] funny every new time, it looks like it would be wise to cut off browser from reach of internet, or from rest of the system - kernel, libraries, battery state information...
