This is pretty cool. But what gets me really excited is the new generic <Permission>[0] element. I had to implement a webcam element one time for some CV pet project and I had a lot of trouble getting the basic api to just work (Highly likely a skill issue). So seeing that this will also expand to webcam and other IO seems like a really good UX improvement. - [0] https://github.com/WICG/PEPC/blob/main/explainer.md

ermissions on and off either). It's imo very good that we are finally leaving this awful tarpit of design, & moving towards permissions being more fluid. I get that other browsers wanted to be conservative & not do a generic <permission> element, but given how big an improvement this feels like, I sort of wish it'd gotten the pass.
