ATI and NVidia surely cares about driver stability. Who would buy their graphics cards if the games kept crashing all the time?

ATI and NVidia didn't have to care about security before, since the only applications that could access the drivers and graphics cards were trusted applications. Now we have a new situation where they they have to start to care about security. I don't think AMD or NVidia want to be blacklisted in WebGL implementations because their driver isn't secure enough.

Only one or the other could get blacklisted. If it was both of them, what remains? The Sandy Bridge GPU? WebGL needs them more than they need WebGL.
