Thanks Alex for reviewing.
We are expecting feedback from Chrome remote desktop application, Excel online and Citrix's web based solutions for their remote desktop application (as per their feedback here<https://github.com/WICG/proposals/issues/186>). We might expect more engagement from similar web based rich text/image editors and remote desktop applications. If the feedback is positive for the API and if we see good adoption, then we might propose I2S before the close of the OT. -Rohan ________________________________ From: Alex Russell <slightly...@chromium.org> Sent: Monday, July 14, 2025 11:50 PM To: blink-dev <blink-dev@chromium.org> Cc: Rohan Raja <ror...@microsoft.com>; Rakesh Goulikar <rakesh.gouli...@microsoft.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Intent to Experiment: Clipboardchange event LGTM1; are there engaged partners that you're expecting to get feedback from?

This allows web-apps like remote desktop clients to keep their clipboards synchronized with the system clipboard. It provides an efficient alternative to polling the clipboard(using Javascript) for changes.

Please refer to the explainer document for further details about their use cases. Other signals: WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? None Goals for experimentation - Primary Objective: Validate the clipboardchange event API design and developer adoption patterns in real-world web applications before standardization. - Track clipboardchange event API developer engagement metrics and growth trajectories through the counters implemented. - API Ergonomics Validation: Test whether the event interface and focus requirements work intuitively for developers - Developer Adoption Patterns: Understand how developers integrate the API into existing workflows through the community feedback. Experiment risks None: - There are no data storage implications with this event. - This is a non-critical functionality since this is an enhancement and not a major dependency. All current clipboard workflows continue to function without the event. Ongoing technical constraints None Debuggability None Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? Yes Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>? Yes wpt.fyi/results/clipboard-apis/async-navigator-clipboard-change-event.tentative.https.html (Note - Some tests are failing on wpt.fyi infra due to flakiness which is being looked into, it runs fine in Chromium CQ runs. Test failures in Edge are probably due to the feature flag being disabled in the test environment) Flag name on about://flags None Finch feature name ClipboardChangeEvent Requires code in //chrome?
