Package: chromium
Version: 76.0.3809.100-1
Followup-For: Bug #943346

I would recommend not enabling Native Client in Chromium or Debian.

It is deprecated technology:

https://developer.chrome.com/native-client

https://blog.chromium.org/2017/05/goodbye-pnacl-hello-webassembly.html

https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/migration

Plus it is not cross platform or cross browser.

Most of the applications that used NaCl were ported to WebAssembly
(including many Google owned ones, like Google Earth). This days it is
especially easy considering status of WebAssembly in LLVM, emscripten,
and few other projects targeting WebAssembly directly.

I would recommend asking Secure Shell authors to port as much
functionality as possible to WebAssembly intsead.

Additionally NaCl might be additional source of security concerns,
especially considering Meltdown and Spectre vectors.

Granted, WebAssembly in many benchmarks isn't as fast as Native code, or
Native Client as of now, but WebAssembly has many other advantages, and
performance can be improved in the future with browser engines
improvements.


Cheers,
Witold.
