Well, it's not exactly the same as running native programs but nearby.
For example, see https://www.veracode.com/security/javascript-security .

I think you’re confusing Java for JavaScript. JavaScript doesn’t allow 
execution of arbitrary code and as far as I know it’s still the only language 
that can manipulate the DOM on the browser to perform actions on the client 
side like changing the properties of HTML elements.

I doubt that you can do this only when allowing the execution of
arbitrary code (although I don't know very much about current HTML 
standards).


In the end Scripting is like downloading executable files
with each and every click on a web page.
I do not want this.
I want to keep control about what is executed on my computer.


So you are running an open source OS ?
