I worry that WASM will make it a LOT easier to DRM web content, even making things like copying text difficult.
This will have a detrimental effect on third party tools and plugins like accessibility tools and ad blockers.
True, you can already do this with canvas & plain JS, but more obfuscation will make everything worse.
Eventually we won't be able to browse even the simplest websites without executing JS(wasm).
That being said, I'm all for making things run faster. But I doubt it will actually benefit users in the long run.
Web companies will just run more ads/tracking/AI Learning on peoples machines, making things slow again.
