it's a bit of a shame that TFA does not mention that this is a non-standard API pushed by google only (all three editors of the draft are google engineers)

both Mozilla[1] and Apple[2] are opposed to it

encouraging people to build apps that only work in google web browsers actively harms the web and sends a signal to google that they can in fact keep doing this
