This problem is made worse by technologies like JavaScript, which resemble system programming languages in the lack of restrictions placed on untrusted code. JS code can create threads, sockets, timers, perform I/O, loop or allocate forever. This is complete overkill for something that is mostly needed for interactive websites. Web Assembly doesn't fix this problem either. JavaScript has killed accessibility for the web and created numerous security problems. I don't want it and try to block it when I can.
