Chapter 17. Other Browser Mechanisms of Note
To conclude the third part of the book, we briefly enumerate some of the recently implemented or simply planned APIs that, although not designed for security purposes, may substantially change the security landscape in the coming years. For example, some change the types of data that web applications have access to or alter the way the browser communicates with the outside world.
The following list is necessarily incomplete: New, reasonably plausible designs are drafted every week, and old approaches are scrapped at a moment’s notice, often long before shipping in an actual browser. Still, this chapter should serve as an interesting snapshot of what the future may bring.
