VLC.js is porting the full VLC in wasm, to be able to play everything inside a webpage.

Sandboxing is a way of securing VLC, so that when it crashes, the machine is not compromised. It's a bit more complex than simple sandboxing, since simple sandboxing is not useful (we have access to everything).
