Not impossible at all
croberts 15th Jul 2009
I remember at the start of the web era... 1995-96-ish where if there was a video in a web page, it launched in a separate player. Same deal for a document.

Now, everything is embedded in the browser itself, and it's a self-created security nightmare.

Javascript.. same deal. It has a place, but more often than not it's about enabling an ad of some kind.

Most of what constitutes a modern web page is all about enabling advertising, and the complexity that makes that possible is the biggest security problem on a PC today.
