		zihotki 5 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: When Is WebAssembly Going to Get DOM Support? One could say second class, another could say that's a good separation of concerns. Having direct access would lead to additional security issues and considerations. I wish it was possible to disable WASM in browsers.

In Firefox at least: navigate to about:config and then `javascript.options.wasm => false` seems to do the job.

This causes any access to the global WebAssembly object to fail with `WebAssembly is not defined` (e.g. it won't be possible to instantiate wasm blobs).
