    Default Running a browser as limited user

    I want to know that can I run browser as restricted user help avoid hijacks. Or bypass permissions and attack at lower level. This user has "deny all" pushed through file system, and files necessary for Firefox to run permitted. Running as limited user could merit, but who really does this on home PC? You can perform anything without continuously having to do run as, not to mention profile still infected.

    Yes, running browser as Restricted User stops many majority things. Some persons adapt to non-Admin environment as time goes by, but for things to put down severe kind of roots, Admin powers will required.

    In fact in Linux environment, you run browser in chroot. That must basically shield from any possible use right. Most uses are targeted at windows, but allows assume there was much targeted at Linux also.
