For turning off wasm you're probably better off with something like noscript or umatrix, turning it off globally will cause mysterious problems with an increasing number of websites

This is probably what I would want - I'd prefer to know them and never visit them again except for a chosen few. (Wasm has many legitimate uses and I'm happy it exists but being old enough to see the evolution of the web I'm 100% sure it will be abused also in the ways we have no idea about yet.)
