Surely you mean "granting native execute access"? JavaScript executes in a browser. Sure, it's sandboxed, but it's still executed.

Nope. I don't want some random code from the Internet tying up resources on my computer. Even if it doesn't have access to much of my data. That's the whole problem with the bitcoin mining - sure it's sandboxed but it's still bad.
