Will accessibility tools that rely on automating input to the browser cause it to become untrusted? Will it affect extensions? The spec does currently specify a carveout for browser modifications and extensions, but those can make automating interactions with a website trivial. So, either the spec is useless or restrictions will eventually be applied there too.

I agree with you, I’d love to live in the world where Vivaldi chose Gecko instead of Chromium, but we’ve only got the cards we’ve been dealt so at least the Vivaldi team are always very vocal about this and have always said they’re going to work around Google’s more draconian decisions.

I just want WebKit for windows :(

It has a bunch of fine browsers on Linux, why isn’t there a decent GTK port for windows?
