@torgo@mastodon.social So on = the site requests, the browser asks if the site can have the content of the clipboard off = the site requests, the browser denies the request Isn’t the on behavior the same as with camera/microphone?

@torgo@mastodon.social In fairness, it's something required if you want to make a text editor that allow pasting by clicking a paste button, which led to the infamous "you need to press ctrl+v to paste" prompt in Google Docs that many users get mad at without knowing the caveats of this. That being said, I'm sure people (like Apple or Mozilla... surely not Google) could have suggested an API that allowed that and didn't have this caveat.

@torgo@mastodon.social I seem to remember Edge is based upon Chromium. Are other leading browsers safer?

@torgo@mastodon.social There's a discussion *in 45 minutes* in the Editing WG about a new feature that would accomplish the use cases that previously needed this permission-guarded any-time access to the clipboard contents. They really need any-time access to the _types_ on the clipboard, like iOS allows for apps without a warning, and we'll see how Firefox and Safari feel about adding that to the Web.

@torgo@mastodon.social Wait a sec. Why can a browser or any app *request* the clipboard content? This seems to me like a massive security flaw of the OS. The browser should not be in control of this at all.

@torgo@mastodon.social Another good reason to not use and uninstall edge!

@torgo@mastodon.social Or you can just use a better browser that doesn't have this enabled by default @qutebrowser@fosstodon.org

@torgo@mastodon.social never is a strong word browsers are user agents and should do what the user tells them to. they should ship with defaults that suit most people but, as it stands, every time browsers forcibly gate something behind their extremely conservative idea of a user action it makes my life, and my users' lives, worse I'd be interested if you know of any real world malicious use of the current API given that it has been around for so long
