    Possibly, but Firefox & Chrome based browsers have the same built-in isolation and other security measures as on Windows. Plus you can use Ublock Origins to get rid of malvertisements. If you really wanted, you can also isolate the browser entirely with something like firejail.
    Hardend forks like LibreWolf are good too.
    Oh, and Wayland also isolates clients from each other too.

    I don’t think it’s that big of a threat as long as you keep some level of common sense.

      One of the biggest reasons I might want to say goodbye to xfce sooner than later.
      I can’t make use of most of Waylands’ features and improvements, but this kind of isolation is very much worth it anyway.

          I have confidence that they’ll do it right, but looking at its past, it will take a looong while until it’s ready

            True, but at least development is steady for now. Maybe in a few years.
