If I remember properly, Virtual box uses non-free code for GPU exceleration. I've looked at others too, like GNOME (Linux) boxes and VMM (OpenBSD and UNIX-based OSes) but they only support a few platforms. XEN also looked promising, but if I remember properly they don't work on any LIbreboot laptop and many Coreboot machines as they require non-free code for the CPU. QEMU-kvm may require non-free code as well. If I remember properly, Virtual box uses non-free code for GPU exceleration.

KVM's in general widen your attack surface. For more info just look up the micro vs monolithic kernel debate. KVM's in general widen your attack surface.

It is handy, but it generally should be turned off.
I mean that you (the user) should be able to control it. Not sure what edit your recommending (if any) :) > Is shared clipboard a secure setting?
