Ask Slashdot: Disable web-assembly to reduce browser-based abuse?

Tablizer writes: This Github bloglet by Steve Springett suggests disabling WASM (Web Assembly) in browsers for security purposes unless you need it often, and includes commands for switching it off in the common browsers. WASM potentially has some of the same risks that Java Applets and Flash did. What's Slashdotters view of this?

Browsers should have a way to easily disable it, including whitelisting. For example, if you need it for specific gaming site, you can whitelist just that site and not have WASM exposed for other sites.
