    Generally agree, but your idea that native games are safer than websites is backwards. Browsers are basically hardened sandboxes for running untrusted code. Even though steam does a good job of detecting and taking down malware it’s still downloading executables that run with full access to your system (unless you run steam in a sandbox of some kind). Playing games in a browser is no less safe than loading any other website.
