Visiting a website and running Javascript vs. running a native application aren't equivalent. Browser sandbox exploits are "a thing" but that doesn't make the situations the same.

Yes and WASM can be sandboxed just as easily as JavaScript.

There is nothing "magical" about web browsers in that regard.

I don’t follow where you’re going.

I didn’t say there was anything “magical” about browsers. They have a sandbox for JavaScript, by default. Windows doesn’t have a sandbox for native apps, by default.

A parent poster seemed to be making a statement of equivalency between running a native application in Windows and running JavaScript in a browser. I don’t think they’re equivalent.

That’s what I’m saying.
