> the browser is that it provides a sandboxed platform for running untrusted code Unfortunately it's not true. Zero day exploits happen all the time, even the recent Intel CPU vulnerabilities were exploitable via JavaScript. Morevever, some harmful effects of arbitrary code execution cannot be mitigated (like the drained battery or user tracking), that's why I have recently adopted a view that code execution on web pages is just a Bad Idea and my non-work browsers are configured with JS turned completely off. This gives me nearly 2 full days of battery life on my phone and I'm less worried about privacy/security aspects of visiting random web sites. Unfortunately, even within the last year, I'm noticing that more and more web sites simply serve me a blank screen without JS enabled. This forces me to stop using such sites, which is gradually reducing the size of the usable web for me. My only hope is for a new trendy server-side rendering fad to come along and rescue the Internet :)
