Chromium: Project Fugu

Idle detection and shape detection worry me. When used in combination they could be made to force you to watch ads, ads could autopause when you stop looking at them or are afk. I also wonder how much worse browser fingerprinting can get with them.

I can see an emerging need for a new, dumb web (with a distinctive protocol/port pair in the URI)…

There doesn't seem to be any safeguards for editing the content that gets saved to the file. Much like injecting extra commands into the clipboard when a user copies a terminal command, what's stopping someone from injecting a obsfucated piece of code to line 10000 of a python file? Maybe fugu could enforce a diff result on the of the original vs new file as an additional security step but that's just another alert out of the 10 added ones you have to deal with in your development process.

Is there any safeguards in the FileSystem Writable api to protect from this?

Just saw this https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=104825... as part of: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1de0ZYDOcafNXXwMcg4EZ...

Hopefully its done and one of these days Safari takes the same approach

Does anyone have reason to believe that iOS will ever enable notifications from PWA’s?

it's a sad state of affairs, but I see a project like this and think immediately what's the angle? what is it these fuckers don't like about webpages now. what new and interesting way have they come up with to subvert the work of those that created an open internet in the first place. I got no further that "modified browser" than to suspect they are up to no good. I'm not saying anything about this project specifically , just they sorry state of the Internet and everything that runs on it and the big corps writing browser tech. Now that mozilla sold out, your only portal to the Web is preinstalled with tracking software written by those least able to control their own greed </rant>
