Oxide is a desktop browser that runs WebAssembly directly — no HTML, no DOM, no JavaScript engine. Point it at a .wasm and it draws pixels. Built in Rust on wasmtime + GPUI, it exposes ~150 host APIs covering canvas, GPU/WGSL compute, hardware-accelerated video, audio, WebRTC, WebSockets, MIDI, camera, and storage. Every app is sandboxed by construction: capabilities are opt-in, memory and CPU fuel are bounded. Shipping an app means shipping a binary, not a tarball of HTML, CSS, JS, and npm risk
