Fast, but not faster than XOR filters. I was wondering if the title was a typo, but the article clarifies they sacrificed some speed for the smaller size.
Agreed on the madness of wide open OS defaults, I share your vision for isolation as a first-class citizen.
In the mean-time (for Windows 11 users) theres Sandboxie+ fighting the good fight. I know most here will be aware of its strengths and limitations, but for any who dont (or who forgot about it), I can say its still working just as great on Windows 11 like it did on Windows 7.
While its not great isolating heavy-weight dev environments (Visual Studio, Unreal Engine, etc), its almost perfect for managing isolation of all the small suff (Steam games, game emulators, YouTube downloaders , basic apps of all kinds).
Fair point about it being less invasive than adtech sites, but my comment was just addressing the claim that piracy doesn't “track users and send a bunch of telemetry”.
Torrent-trackers broadcast ip-addresses, timestamps, and torrent metadata; even if you consider it minor or mitigated by VPNs/seedboxes.
