NaCl is a platform independent secure code execution environment. It is NOT a way to talk to the underlying OS like ActiveX. Is is NOT a way to write plugins like ActiveX.
It's effectively just another way to write code in a browser like JavaScript. Is has no more or less permissions than JavaScript. It is no more or less access to APIs then JavaScript. It just has 5 to 100x more speed than JavaScript depending on what you are trying to achieve.
