Seems the classic Opera 12.xx (Presto) browser still gets limited updates: http://www.opera.com/blogs/security/2016/0...ecurity-update/

I assume most newer browsers (including Opera/Blink, Chrome and other Chromium-based ones) were vulnerable before they were patched (which I think they are now?). At least Pale Moon is said to have been safe even before Spectre was known, and so (like Opera12/Presto) supposedly doesn't need a patch for this.
Of course any browser with javascript enabled is a security- and privacy hazard these days (not just due to Spectre), so it's best to disable javascript by default in all of them. |

I don't know if this test is reliable.
https://xlab.tencent.com/special/spectre/spectre_check.html It says IE10 and Iron is vulnerable. FF, Edge and - lo and behold - k-mel is not. How could that be? k-mel most certainly isn't patched. Maybe I don't have the latest Iron. But I thought MS had forced patches on us for this on Win10, so their browsers ought to be safe. Not true? |
