There is something odd going on. 

I have always thought the Java sandbox was so restrictive, there was
nothing a user need worry about. There is no way an unsigned applet
could do any damage.

But Oracle and the browsers are acting like unsigned Applets are
highly dangerous, making you do override after override to run them.

On the other hand I don't think JavaScript has any sort of sandbox at
all, and everyone blissfully runs scripts that can do anything.

Why the double standard? Is JavaScript safer than I thought?
