        It's nearly impossible to overstate the amount of security competence of modern browser teams vs. the security staffing of non-browser products.

        Browser engineers literally *make fun of other browser teams* for having under-staffed security groups. Even our jokes have a better security posture.

        ...which means that when you use a service on the web instead of installing (high priviledge by default) native software, you've put decades of competition about security from those teams between yourself and the service in question...and that is a *good* thing.

        Browsers ain't perfect. There's lots more to do, and I get why Zoom needed more in terms of API to deliver excellent experiences (we're working on it w/ Project Fugu). But if you need security more than a custom background, move to the browser.

        As a final addendum: competition (enabled by interop and standards) is how browsers got so damned good at security. They didn't used to be! It's yet another key reason that Apple's constant undermining of meaningful browser choice on iOS should worry everybody.

        Yeah, a local priv escalation ain't the end of the world, but this is a trampoline that I have every expectation is going to get re-combined into a dozen new, worse things

        You know I love the Web and I've long advocated for web based videoconf, but you're missing a big part of the situation if you summarize it down to custom backgrounds. Videoconf on zoom is a lot better than webrtc implementations I've seen. I don't know why exactly, but it is.
