The primary concern with running native code in a browser is . Running a .exe or binary file directly could give a website access to your entire computer. NaClWebPlugin solved this through a dual-sandbox approach:

In its prime, the NaClWebPlugin was the engine behind some of the most impressive web experiences:
Before the advent of modern standards like WebAssembly (Wasm), the web was largely limited to JavaScript. While JavaScript is versatile, it historically struggled with heavy computational tasks like 3D rendering, video encoding, and complex physics simulations. NaCl was designed to bridge this gap, allowing developers to write high-performance applications that run at near-native speeds while staying inside the browser’s "sandbox."
