Native Client

Native Client is a technology developed by Google that allows web applications to run compiled code securely in a web browser. It enables developers to write high-performance applications using languages like C and C++, which can run natively on a user's device while still being delivered through the internet. Native Client uses a sandboxing approach, meaning it restricts the code's access to the system, enhancing security. This helps achieve faster execution for tasks like gaming or data processing in a browser, making web applications more capable and responsive without sacrificing user safety.
