Somewhat off topic but have you see all of the recent (2 years) malware using webassembly? It's difficult to disable in chrome, somewhat difficult to disable in firefox, and no extensions seem to help. I'd love make it as easy to disable as JS.

Webassembly is about to become as necessary for browsing the modern web as Javascript is today. For much of the same reasons: you must keep it on to be tracked, so it will be "made necessary" on as much of the commercial web as possible.

No surprise WebAssembly is disabled in Chrome on OpenBSD.
