How big of a WASM binary would that be? Can we block WASM binaries that are over a certain size in the browser?

You won't be able to block the binary, because the binary will be what renders the content. Your browser is going to act as a VM to run a browser that will display the content. The "inner" browser will be running on your computer, but short of binary reverse engineering, you won't be able to control it.

Gary Bernhardt's talk "The Birth & Death of JavaScript"[1] was an ominous portent of a terrifying future. Unfortunately, some people apparently saw it as development roadmap.
