That's presuming Web browsers won't have any bugs in how they do webrtc that could allow someone to take over the browser.

Web browsers sometimes have bugs like this. I believe iPhone 1.1 had a bug in TIFF images that people used to jail break the phone



Presumably it could be sandboxed for security, being a feature of the browser itself, which Java can't be.


Sure, but what if there's a bug with your sandboxing and code can escape the sandbox? There is no magic bullet.
