Why do you think wasm is harder to circumvent? The only way to instantiate a wasm module in the browser is through (drum roll) javascript. Install noscript if you're worried. The days of view source -> edit are basically over anyway due to every site's 1MB+ minified JS blobs.

Why would you try out a new app in a sandboxed browser, when instead you could give it complete access to your entire computer?
If the app can run arbitrary code on my GPU it's not exactly sandboxed, is it?
Are you launching Chrome with --disable-gpu-sandbox? If not, it's sandboxed.
If websites can run compute shaders on my hardware, that's not a sandbox.
