It’s the kind of bugs you get in C or C++ code, so Haiku and RISC OS are likely to have exploitable bugs in them too. The probability of someone actually trying to exploit them is very low though, unless you are being specifically targeted. You’re probably quite safe being online with MS-DOS even though a small bug in a browser would easily lead to total system compromise, since nobody is trying to exploit it any more (unless you download old DOS programs that contain old viruses, lol).

True but when you have empire building makework jobsworths with nothing better to do versus people being cleverdicks and going “Hah. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition” etctera somewhere out there is a fingerprinting system which is going to go “Oh, yeah?” and pull up all the queries and plugins to deal with that in a jiffy. It’s what I would do. Then I guess there are proxies and stuff which make this harder but that’s what obsessives are paid to think about.
