Lets not get rude, I've met some of them. They're bright folks using all sorts of technologies. I've seen vim and emacs (though mostly emacs). Their website does have some rough co…

I disagree. Putting aside saved passwords which I admit is a big aside. The browser's usual attack vector is login or session cookies. It will grant users access to the account but…
