 @872ab8e1 Honestly sounds like much ado about very little at least to me.  Chrome should be able to issue a patch for this and apparently Firefox and Safari already don't work with it.  Though the issue lies on the GPU, so drivers possibly should adapt for this.  It sounds like it can't get very much and it takes way too long to be effective given that it can't run its own custom code or anything.  The minimum attack vector for a very very small image was over 30 minutes...
