Like a privacy based fully open source browser. Wouldnt it be more hackable because every one know the script and is a glopal privacy based gpay alternative possible ? What about targeted hacking is someone using closed source application more better off than someone with ooen source ?

    open source definitely plays a role in Linux security, but it’s minor compared to stuff like market share, user privilege,

    Is saying the role open source plays in Linux security is minor compared to the role other aspects play, not that the attacks are minor.

      But I still think it’s wrong. Linux is the most used because it’s open source, anyone can audit it and adapt it to their servers or any infrastructure that can compute, as many libraries like OpenSSH and others that most closed source repositories are using to not re-make them from 0.
