I really doubt that, Richard. That is a serious security flaw and
intrusion if a web site can download and execute a DLL on the client.

Rather, the web page is requestinf functionality of the browser
that is not available at startup time. That is what a DLL
is often used for.

As for Macs, which after all are running on BSD Unix. Yes, they have
DLLs only by a different name: DYLIB. Oh, and Linux and all modern
disk-based computer systems have some form of DLL.
