I wouldn't have any problems giving these APIs access via the web, but one challenge with the websites is that I'm never 100% sure that when I "retract" a permission or say "stop tracking me" that it's done. I think that if access to these API's were wrapped in some sort of Privacy API that superseded each website's privacy and data collection polices I would be more comfortable with this. These changes just seem like something Google threw over the wall to get things working with Chrome and every other browser developer said "no thanks".
