You're basically letting strangers run code on your computer. That's basically what a "website" is. It is truly impressive to me how we can have something so complex and still manage to somehow keep it (usually) secure.

That's true, but the scale is different by orders of magnitude, and people have grown far more trusting of random websites than random software.
