Sorry but this is false and we must end this misconception. Run JavaScript in a browser on a single-user machine? You are vulnerable.

All of these vulnerabilities impact desktop and servers. I guess I wasn't clear, but when talking about "multi-tenant hosts", I meant servers.
Ok, so if I visit a site with malicious JS it can now potentially steal the contents of my ram at a blistering few KB/s for the duration that I am on the site.
That's really not that big a deal compared to slowing everything down again. Modern computers are slow enough thanks to the mountains of abstraction developers insist on using (web included!), the realtime AV scanner, Ads, user tracking, and just general software bloat.
Surely this will make everyone see the truth and end this silly javascript fad.
