1. How would you describe JShelter? (
2. How did the project start?
3. Can you give some examples of what malicious JavaScript on the web
  can do? How does JShelter circumvent it? (ma1)

4. Is JShelter only for technical users? How would an "everyday user"
  benefit from using it?

5. What's the "perfect world" in terms of the web look like in your
  opinion? For example, would you put specific limits on what
  JavaScript can or can't access?

6. But on the other hand, what's the worst case scenario in terms of
  abusive JavaScript? Are we living it now?

7. Can you give us some details on the changes you're making to
  JShelter for ManifestV3?
