“Zero-day bugs are vulnerabilities that have not been patched or made public. When discovered and not disclosed, these bugs can be used by hackers and criminals to break into corporate systems to steal or change data. As a result, there is a thriving market for zero-day bugs.”
The summary says it all: basically everything has holes - we just don’t know about them yet! I am starting to think that a Virtual Browser ‘Appliance’ (with non-persistent disks - which means any changes to the content on the disks reverts back to original on reboot) is almost the only way forward for general web browsing.
