I'm dreading Canvas + WASM. Sites that intercept scroll and touch events with Javascript are already rage-inducing to use, especially on mobile. I can't imagine that taking even more of the UI interaction away from the browser will improve anything.

So am I, however it's really going to shine with things like SQLite for client side data storage, and for complex graphics client side by using desktop class graphics libraries.

Skia have a WASM port, I could see it being an amazing base for a graphics/rich-text product: https://skia.org/docs/user/modules/canvaskit/

I think the difference is WASM will be really good for content creation (see Figma), but we really don't want it for content consumption - unless its seriously clever visuals or background data processing.
