    Description:
    V8 , the JavaScript engine used in Chrome, announced that its memory sandbox is no longer experimental. Chrome 123 could therefore be considered to be a sort of "beta"
    release for the sandbox. This blog post uses this opportunity to
    discuss the motivation behind the sandbox, show how it prevents
    memory corruption in V8 from spreading within the host process, and
    ultimately explain why it is a necessary step towards memory safety.
