It's good news for everyone. Does it make wasm easier? No. But 
it's something. Wasm is kinda like that. Good and annoying.

What?  What makes it "illegal" to stop it?  Just block JS (and by
extension wasm) by default and enable only on sites you trust.  I don't
allow JS by default, and on most sites I only let it run for the
duration I'm on the site.  Only trusted sites get to run JS in my
browser.  Untrusted JS sources get a permanent JS ban no matter what
site I'm on.

Yes this makes most sites appear "broken", but I ignore most
JS-dependent sites anyway (they rarely have anything interesting to
offer, the JS is usually for eye-candy only, or paywalls, adware, or
malware -- if they don't have non-JS HTML with actual content, they're
rarely worth my attention).  Unless it's a trusted site or the JS
actually offers something beyond just eye-candy / adware / other useless
fluff.

I am a zoomer, so can't really watch this. Is there a YouTube 
Shorts version?

The solution is to **NOT** use web browsers or to accept what is 
happening.
I have accepted it and intend to make the internet a worse place 
because it's more fun this way. More JS, more WASM, more layers 
of legacy and bad design.
