Obviously, as I have authority on the memory used by the browser, if he
can read/execute it, I can also. If it hands that memory to another
process while losing read access to it, I won't be able to read it
neither, but the browser cannot execute code in the opaque region.

So you still can give the browser a space bank able to opacify and
monitor it's code.

Transparently,
Pierre
