A great example!

That single move from Microsoft more or less eliminated the need for any normal application run by any normal user to require admin-rights to function, something which up to that point more or less had been the norm.

Developers fixed their applications to work with a sane privilege level and pretty much everyone was better off.

Let’s do the same with the rampant JS-abuse on the web.
