- whateveracct 3y agoThe main way Rust helps with security normally doesn't especially apply. The main feature of Rust that Ruffle takes advantage of is just that it can compile to WebAssembly. So it runs in the same browser VM other modern web content does. Thus inheriting all that sandboxing and security. So idt Rust deserves the credit here.
- grishka 3y agoI know, but it also exists as a native desktop app. And I suppose if there are any remaining native plugin interfaces in modern browsers, it can also potentially become a browser plugin.
