Sounds like companies should start locking down browsers to disable WebGL, WASM and other similar APIs targeted at apps as opposed to web pages. I would welcome this if it got web developers to stop using more than they actually need.
Tricky to block WASM. A lot of useful Websites use for genuinely good usage. Can be for syntax highlighting, chess engine, etc and the same goes for WebGL or WebGPU, they are used for responsive UI in dashboard, for data visualization, for video rendering with effects e.g. blurring a background behind a person thus privacy, etc. Blocking either of those would break a lot of modern useful Websites.
You’re thinking of Facebook, and you can still get that.
