Proof of stake will solve this.

  > Proof of stake will solve this. No. It. Won't. The issue isn't PoW/PoS but the loading of infected code into browsers. PoS may stop the need for this particular JS code to get inserted. However, PoS will hinder no other JS from being inserted.

    In principle, sites should be secure. In practice, putting an implicit bug bounty on every widely-used Javascript library does produce more exploitation. I think you missed an opportunity to engage your parent comment more productively.

      What principle states sites should be secure? There is hardly even a nod to security, no defense in depth, and no cryptographic protections. There is widespread loading of untrusted unvetted code. The operating principle of the web seems to be, "it's okay to do this, everyone else is."
