People keep bashing Java for its security record. And yet, for example:<p>Firefox 44: 12 security fixes including 3 critical vulnerabilities<p>Firefox 43: 16 security fixes including 4 critical vulnerabilities<p>Firefox 42: 18 security fixes including 3 critical vulnerabilities<p>On the evidence so far, I’m not sure browsers, as they expand to try to do more of the things we used to use plugins for, will necessarily prove to be significantly safer than what we had before.
