Thank you for adding this. Finally we're going to be able to do cross-browser video-recordings and playing. Can't wait to see it in production. M. On Monday, March 4, 2024 at 3:50:13 PM UTC-7 sun...@microsoft.com wrote: > Mike, I've added feature detection and developer engagement on >

Thanks @Chris Palmer for your input. Nobody is more opposed to DRM than I am. Even today I refuse to load DRM extensions into the browser. I think that DRM is wrong and the open web is the way to go. But providing provenance and integrity to a resource is not DRM. TLS is not DRM. If you hit a

There are a number of things to consider: *It's my device, and I have the right to do what I want to do with it. Not somebody else.* While I am 100& supporting this statement, this ship has sailed a long time ago. Our friends @Google already control many things that especially influence the life

It would be my suggestion that a "broken" integrity should result in a browser warning (like an invalid TSL certificate) allowing the user to continue if he/she so chooses. That would allow "twiddling" while also giving a normal user an amount of security that nobody else has "twiddled" with the

Thank you Francois. Here's an experience I'd like to share with you. I was watching and listening to a training presentation yesterday and was asked to look something up. So I opened a new tab to start looking it up. But the presentation in the first tab stopped and I was unable to use the second

We are categorically against this. It severely limits developers to what is considered to be "good practice" which is not always desired (or possible), especially not in complex environments. We are frankly getting tired to be told what is "good" and what is "bad" behavior without any

Ben: I must have read the explainer incorrectly. Yes I am proposing a an integrity check for user agents to run against websites. Here are my thoughts: Web-environments are used to transport and process critical data. In order to protect the integrity of the web-environment, we have mechanisms

I am a *big* fan pf everything that helps to protect the integrity of a web/javascript environment. Not necessarily to make a site or web/app unusable, but to inform the user that an evironment has changed. It is up to the user to decide to continue to use it or not. To that end I am proposing

Thanks for your answer Rick. However - I do have some remarks. An incoming call notification should reliably and across all platforms signal a .. well, incoming call. What good is a notification if it works on some platforms and doesn't work for others. Take webPush for example: It is pretty much

I strongly support this API. There's always the potential for misuse, all the user has to do is to uninstall the app. I understand the principle philosophy to protect the user against malicious intends, but this should never lead to overly restrictive functionality. WebApps .. as they are
