> now we're plagued with javascript and it literally being allowed to do what all malware ever wanted: to spy on users any way the site-op sees fit.
This is flat-out untrue. Beyond hyperbole. If JavaScript had the system access that literally any piece of malware sought, the world would be an utter shit show in a way it simply isn’t.
They didn't say JavaScript has system access, just that it can be used to spy on users (in the browser, and everything seems to be moving to the browser).
