> We never had access to the use of SIMD intrinsics in browsers in the first place, anyway. For that, use native. Yes, exactly. I want it all: native performance, security, open platform. Google is making attempts to tackle this, Mozilla keeps trying to shove app authors back into the JavaScript box. |

The problem is by trying to have "all" we might get less than what we have now.
NaCL for example is a horrible "standard", as far as specifications.
And if companies are allowed to build whole native closed source castles in the web browser, we might return to the era of Active X and Flash. Maybe not in the sense of less security (a common Active X issue), but surely in the sense of less interoperability, transparency and end user control.
You would basically just be running native apps in the browser. Why not do it in the desktop or mobile and let the internet be the open, not opaque, platform that it mostly is?
