The problem with allowing the user to be effectively root (via sudoers) 
is that
ubiquotous browser. I have zero faith in browsers. No, not 0, but 
-infinity .
A malefic website can and does user JS to fork out processes that can sudo
whatever they want.
This is why broswers should be set to suid some user other than the 
logged-in user,
and having no privileges outside it's own directory. This would be like 
a jail.
Many of you already know how to set up such a jail.
