SpecificationNone Summary A web platform intervention designed to better align API permissions with user intent by preventing ad scripts from accessing certain privacy-sensitive APIs. Blink componentBlink>PermissionsAPI <https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=customfield1222907:%22Blink%3EPermissionsAPI%22> Motivation When a user grants a website permission to access a powerful API like their precise geolocation, microphone, camera, screen, or clipboard contents, their consent is intended for the site, not necessarily to every third-party script running on the page. In particular, embedded ad scripts can currently leverage the page's permission to opportunistically access this sensitive data. The user may not be aware that an advertisement is accessing their information. This intervention aims to better align a granted permission with user intent by preventing ad script in a context with API permission from using it, reinforcing user trust and control over their data.
