You know what would be cool? A built in way for your browser to automatically download and run local-first software as a docker container, in the background without user confirmation.

The problem with that idea is docker isn’t as secure as wasm is. That’s one big difference: wasm is designed for security in ways that docker is not.

The other big difference is that wasm is in-process, which theoretically should reduce overhead of switching between multiple separate running softwares.
