I don't know a lot about NaCl but my gut reaction is that it will be insecure and allow my computer to be remotely exploited. Why am I wrong?

- tlrobinson 15y agoThe entire point of NaCl is to run native code securely. I won't get into the details because there's tons of information out there (http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/reference/research-papers http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/reference/research-pape...), but code must be compiled using a special NaCl compiler, then before it's executed the client runs it through the NaCl verifier to ensure it's safe to execute. Of course it's possible there are bugs in NaCl, but Google won't enable it in Chrome by default until they're very confident it's secure.
