Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a Termux thread as a source on Android's layered app sandboxing, beyond the ART runtime. The comment cites it without judging the writing, so the post's specific content is not described.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Security researcher of embedded firmware and mobile devices.
What Hacker News says?
Android 13+ includes a crosvm based virtulization setup: https://source.android.com/docs/core/virtualization > ...then that process can escape the application's sandbox and do stuff it shouldn't be able to do given the permissions granted to the Android application. Android's sandboxing is not limited to ART and has multiple layers [0]. Native apps cannot bypass sandboxing, I don't think. [0] https://hernan.de/blog/…
