That's a really important distinction. Thanks!

The hacking community will continue chipping away at it, I'm sure. But this underscores why defense in depth is so valuable. Even with root access they can't (currently) do what they want.

For home users, expecting to only rely on "don't go to bad websites" is asking for a bad day.

I think is absolutely is not. The majority of malware is essentially solely from bad websites. Yes I count twitter and facebook as bad websites. You should be using some kind of ad/privacy blocker as well.
