Yes, primary objective. Definitely.

It is also form of "added" security, because it is based on constantly
iterating and auditing old source and design. It isn't made cleanroom
software development process from ground up.

Of course, me and probably everyone else here appreciate the real
security which is achieved by correcting the bugs.

>A quick look at [0] demonstrates your utter ignorance of EAL

I know EAL. My point was that ancient unsecure stuff can be secured by
auditing, re-engineering and using mitigation. OpenBSD is prime example.

These methods also apply running Javascript.

I agree. It has done its purpose when Matthew pointed that sandboxing
is not implemented in Chromium or Firefox.
