This blog post describes a workaround for an issue arising from recent changes around the V8 optimizer toggle in some Chromium-based web browsers on desktop platforms.
Some time back,
Chromium
introduced a new toggle named V8 optimizer that allowed users to disableJavaScript
just-in-time (JIT)
compilation. This feature dramatically enhanced security by reducing the attack surface at the cost of slightly degraded performance. For reference, V8 JIT compiler bugs have accounted for roughly 45% of all the CVEs issued for V8 at some point in time.
