> Browser vendors should agree to make JS slow and safe again
Not gonna happen.
There's one browser vendor in particular who has 2/3 of the browser market, 96% of the ad network market, 87% of mobile, and a similar lock on online office software, email, mapping/navigation, etc. etc. They have every incentive to use their commanding service in providing both the services and the means of access to those services to consolidate their control over the world's information resources. And, as the key way in which all these different components are implemented and interact with each other, JavaScript is their most effective means of maintaining that stranglehold.
