But that's not what parent was saying, I think. He was saying that WebGL not being opt-in was a security disaster; while saying nothing about the security hardening of the WebGL module itself.
Even when a module is well tested, I'd like non-essential modules to be opt-in too.

Now I agree, that sites should have a static fallback, as I also do not want to run a full webapp, when all I want is a static article for example. But this is because of a different problem - the financing of most of the web, through advertisment and not the fault of javascript.
