So it depends on your security model. If you don't want your web 
browser running untrusted JavaScript, then of course it's not secure 
under that constraint. But all major browsers allow that by default, 
and that's good enough for 99% of users. Our security model is the same 
as any other browser: JavaScript should not be able to cause lasting 
harm after the page has been closed.
