Good sources of randomness, that aren't susceptible to side-channel attacks have only really appeared in browsers (Crypto.getRandomValues) in March of _this_ year.
Random is only good if it is a decent CRNG, and we haven't had time to roadtest if we can rely on that yet.
Bad random is predictable, in which case you're removing security.

Yes. You're _adding_ a platform that can be attacked, but not introducing anything that is more secure than what is already possible.
- tomglynch 7y agoI don't see what security we would be removing. I am for keeping SSL and server side hashing. I am just suggesting the addition of client side hashing also.
