If it's all hype, then how come Mythos found 150 bugs in FireFox?

Personally I am responsible for some corporate software that Mythos found bugs in. Real ones. We're fixing them literally RN. Not caught by formerly industry-standard static and dynamic analysis tools.

Good for cUrl if it had few flaws. Be aware you're like a person who was already masking and distancing who didn't get COVID. Your good, prophylactic work does not mean others are not severely impacted or that it's "just a flu".

Curl has had many others look. When most things are fixed it can't find anything. Firefox is much more complex.
