> You consider software complexity comparable at a broader level than I do.

If you're currently starting your career in software, you're sure to -one day- consider the topic in the same way that I do. It's the only rational way to think about it.

Regardless of how you think about the comparability of software complexity between software projects, your statement about the near-impossibility of creating correct complex software was a gross overstatement; one that you're still not owning up to. :)

That bug list is not a list of CVEs. What's more, it's a list of bugs for the entire Chromium project. I assume that you couldn't find any CVEs that only affected V8 the JS engine, as used in Chrome or Chromium. Their absence shoots a really big hole in the foundation of your primary claim, which was: "[There exists no] functional browser that doesn't have bunches and bunches of exploitable bugs in its JS engine.".
