The main point is/was that the more primitive and inflexible iOS
environment has security holes in it just as the more modern and highly
customizable Android environment has holes in it.

The difference is that the holes in Firefox can be easily plugged by the
user, while the iOS users can't plug even the Safari holes they know about
- they can only trust in their Apple Marketing deity to plug the holes for
them.

In this new case of the 2012 HTML5 battery-api exploit, plugging the hole
in the more modern and customizable Firefox is as easy as type tap done.

1. Type "about:config" to search for "battery".
2. Toggle "dom.battery.enabled" from true to false.
3. Done.

I thank Jeff for bringing this issue up, and, for me, at least, the new
privacy hole in the modern customizable browsers is resolved with that
simple "type tap done".
