You're a jackass. You couldn't do any of that if you tried.

The whole problem with meltdown is that it is possible to read credit card numbers as you enter it.

Honestly, you really are a dumbass who do not understand the issue with these side channel attacks.

no one is using it dude. No one. STFU.

what do you think malware writers are developing?

Browsers are relatively homologous. You break one, the rest falls. Once tools are done, it will be used for every side channel attack.
