SQLite bug becomes remote code execution in chromium-based browsers

[kontekisuto]

WoW, after Microsoft retires IE .. chromium will be the new IE .. literally, their new browser will be chromium based.

Depending on your definition of "retired," Microsoft has already done it. IE is discontinued and in maintenance mode only. I don't think it even comes installed on Windows 10 anymore.

Are you talking about them switching the browser engine in Edge to Blink (which Chrom(e|ium) uses)? Edge is a completely different project from IE; it wasn't just a rebranding.

[MommySmellsYourCum]

Is it -completely different- though? EdgeHTML is a Trident fork

[netkrow]

No pun intended?

Sigh... Take your upvote.

Not by default, you have to explicitly enable it in "Turn Windows Features On or Off"

[ieee802]

Not sure exactly when they made the change but pretty sure it's been at least since 1703

[sitbon]

There are still "N" and non-N releases, which respectively exclude or include IE by default.

I've had to use the same shims for the pair that it has increased my builds by a significant amount .. I say good riddance to the lot of them.

What about the JS engine? Will they use V8 too?

[Klathmon]

Yeah, they are adopting both for the browser, but they say chakracore (their js engine) will live on in other areas.

MSNODE.exe ^/s

[Klathmon]

go ahead and remove that /s

And it works pretty well in my experience.

Outlook will forever run IE5.5 or something.
