In order to emulate su/sudo, the binary needs to have special permissions.  
Programs downloaded by web browsers do not get them and non-privileged users 
cannot grant such permissions.

I just wanted to say that many users would not need sudo access at all if they 
were able to install software to their home directory in a way that it works 
out of the box.
