Sorry, I just read the linked article so I don’t really know the exact specific of your system, but I think I’m having a flashback.
These are exactly all the promises of the sandboxed JVM running in a browser, probably with 10-20x performance deficit to account for JavaScript vs java.
I think that after about 20 years we all know why that kind of “security” model failed.
I’m actually quite stunned seeing that you are running code from thousands of different websites in the same process.
The only game changing part that I can see is giving a huge incentive to a lot of not so good people to try to break the sandbox.
And I was hoping that after the intel spectre debacle we were finally going to move in the right direction...
Apparently we are still going in the wrong one.
I really hope that I misunderstood everything and that you are not really running code from thousands of different websites in the same process.
