Browsers and javascript has been security disasters for decades and yet the web crowd perpetuates this model and even plans for webassembly.
Large webassembly applications will make it extremely difficult to inspect suspicious code for this kind of attacks.
Dodgy ad providers will exploit similar vulnerabilities to better track user behavior or worse.
Yet, there isn't an ongoing discussion on limiting the resources available to random websites. The idea of not enabling js by default is seen as absurd.
Good luck to all of us: browsers are developed by companies selling ads.
EDIT: Judging by the downvotes looks like I struck a nerve.
