Especially the Spectre vulnerability may be exploited through Internet browsers. Browser updates may prevent this. Users of Chromium-based browsers (like Chrome, Opera or Vivaldi) should enable site isolation according to Google. To do this, enter "chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process" into your browser's address bar and click "Enable". Then, restart your browser. Mozilla Firefox includes a fix to make using the exploit harder starting with version 57.
