except Unity works with its own web player that is very far from being bug free and secure.

How about instead of continuing to ramble on with poorly spelled and grammatically flawed comments that claim all sorts of things about Unity (and Flash, for that matter), you provide the vaguest amount of evidence or even speculation to support your claims that Unity's web player is some sort of security nightmare? How about some CVEs? Or descriptions of botnets using Unity to infect end users' machines? Or even descriptions of bugs in the web player that cause the slightest discomfort to users? I've played lots of Unity games in my browser and I know lots of developers who use it. I've literally never heard complaints about security problems or had the Unity plugin crash my browser, and I have to terminate plugin-container all the time when Flash hangs, so I'm no stranger to plugin crashes.

  You can bash my grammar all you want , a proprietary plugin is always buggy and a security hole.

  Two following links should be sufficient to prove the point that just because you have never head of any security issues with the Unity Web player does not mean there are none.

  Unity right now gets the benefit of security through obscurity. Nobody exploits Unity, because nobody cares about Unity. The install base is inconsequential. Flash penetration is something to the order of 90%+ of all PCs, which makes it a target. Are you trying to argue that somehow Flash Player and JVM engineers don't know security like Unity engineers? Give me a break. It takes years to secure a leading platform, and even then you get zero-day exploits.
