    Effectively opening an SVG in a JS-capable application is the same as allowing a stranger to run arbitrary code on your computer.

    If your browser allows JS access or create random files, or do other arbitrary stuff, that’s an extremely shit browser.

            Is the statement “no one worked for months or years on a browser to literally make it less secure” true?

            Also, some Lemmy users might use various newfangled alternative or experimental browsers.
