Users should be treated like adults by default

Thats why there is an "accept the risk and proceed" button ;)

By default, Firefox loads Javascript from any site. The Pegasus Trojan was transmitted by hijacking 2G and 3G network connections, and using malicious HTTP redirects that wouldnt work with HTTPS.

They are zero-click, meaning just opening that site would run the code.

i think security should be normalized.

it just always reports win 10

It reports to be Firefox ESR on Windows 10. Maybe Windows 11 now.

you're hand waving away all the problems I deal with all the time.

I didnt. I just find it odd that you need to know the OS to display a site for 3 different form factors. But if that is true, then a UA might be a solution.
