Re: [csswg-drafts] Proposal: Transparent window (#7281)

I think security needs to be considered heavily with that, doing it in a protected way so that webpages can't see the user's screen without their permission.

What would be the fallback in case of a tool like `html2canvas` to use to capture the page? Does it appear black like DRM content?

Also like it was already mentioned here, it might trick people easier into thinking it's a OS inside. We already have phishing without transparency.

If it's allowed, it should probably come with allowing the OS to handle the transparency effect, many users want reduced transparency/effects, also it would make it less likely for tap hijacking/phishing because we can recognize the operating system's transparency effect.
