Perhaps a policy that you role onto all the desktops could block outgoing traffic too, but it's hardly satisfactory. On the flip side, a browser should not be able to do damage to a web-server. If you web-server is vulnerable, then it needs patching. Most likely, if your application is vulnerable then that is a design issue that you probably can't lay at the door of Microsoft and is unlikely to be an issue only with Windows 10 of which a browser sits underneath.

There should be no material difference in the way a browser running under any operating system interacts with a web-server, there are standards for the conversations they will have and if they do not comply then the conversation is more likely to be terminated rather than do damage. The only possible exception might be a DoS issue if the browser loops, constantly issuing requests, but that is going to be a browser fault rather than a Windows 10 fault unless you have rogue software that is also making requests.

Good anti-virus/anti-malware is essential, whatever the platform.

Just my thoughts,
Robin

GIT-INSTAWEB(1) 						    Git Manual							   GIT-INSTAWEB(1)

NAME

       git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb

SYNOPSIS

       git instaweb [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
		      [--browser=<browser>]
       git instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart]

DESCRIPTION

       A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the local repository.

OPTIONS

       -l, --local
	   Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).

       -d, --httpd
	   The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed. Command-line options may be specified here, and the configuration file will be
	   added at the end of the command-line. Currently apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup and webrick are supported. (Default: lighttpd)

       -m, --module-path
	   The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)

       -p, --port
	   The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)

       -b, --browser
	   The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb page. This will be passed to the git web--browse helper script along with the
	   URL of the gitweb instance. See git-web--browse(1) for more information about this. If the script fails, the URL will be printed to
	   stdout.

       start, --start
	   Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.

       stop, --stop
	   Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance, nor does it close
	   the browser.

       restart, --restart
	   Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.

CONFIGURATION

       You may specify configuration in your .git/config

	   [instaweb]
		   local = true
		   httpd = apache2 -f
		   port = 4321
		   browser = konqueror
		   modulepath = /usr/lib/apache2/modules

       If the configuration variable instaweb.browser is not set, web.browser will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web--browse(1) for
       more information about this.
