Your browser is acting like a condom, in that respect (pun not intended).

Yes, there are many cases when condoms are indicative of respect between parties. But a great many people would disagree that the best, most respectful relationships involve condoms.

Does not sell or operate respectful software. I will agree with you that it's best to run it in a browser (or similar sandbox).

Desktop operating systems really dropped the ball on protecting us from the software we run. Even mobile OSs are so-so. So the browser is the only protection we reasonably have.

I think this is sad.
