Looks great, a clear improvement over polling. Thanks! Hopefully you can find APIs on non-Windows platforms to enable this. The explainer mentions polling the clipboard on MacOS but I'm not sure we'd want to do that in Chromium, would we? Perhaps it would be better to not expose the API on platforms that lack support and rely on the site doing feature detection to decide if it wants to poll and at what interval?
