Security? As secure as any javascript programmed site is.

Why? Why not? (Just don't put it in production lol)

I think the parent poster thinks this is somehow breaking out of the JS sandbox (which it's not).

Why not? If you were to use multiple "processes" using Browsix in your app, it actually may be _more_ secure as Web Workers do not share state with each other and the main thread. (EDIT: Although for me I would at best take inspiration from this rather than use it for a real app)

It's because the code isn't mature or seems to be maintained anymore (last commit is april of 2019, pile of issues built up, etc.)

So it wouldn't be wise to rely on that from a business standpoint.

Oh sure. Was just wondering if there was something technical you'd seen. In any case I think this is just a student project right?
