      Exposing your hardware over JavaScript sounds dangerous to me, to be honest. But well, I’m sure that nothing bad could ever happen.

      we are far away from the slow platforms with limited controls of the ol’ days.

      Web browsers are still much slower than your kernel.

        I never said that it would be save, I purposely left that out. I am not a fan of Webapps and Games running in Web browsers myself, at all.

          If there’s one thing that everyone could have learned from the Snowden papers, that one thing is that you aren’t “paranoid”.
