Abstract
: We suggest a "minimalist" approach to browser installations, favoring containerization (like Firefox Multi-Account Containers) over multiple separate installations to reduce the local system's attack surface. The Anatomy of a Browser Inventory : Comparing
This paper investigates the implications of maintaining multiple web browsers on a single workstation. Using a baseline inventory (e.g., InstalledBrowsers.txt ), we analyze how "browser sprawl" affects a system's attack surface, resource allocation, and privacy posture.
: Each installed browser brings its own set of vulnerabilities and plugin requirements.
