Web content should be able to control its own brightness without needing a user gesture. In fact, this is already allowed with HDR videos. If the user gesture is meant to protect against harms from dangerous levels of perceived contrast then the threat model is completely broken from the start. Existing "normal" levels of brightness can already be used to trigger epileptic seizures in sensitive individuals. We need active device-level interventions against perceptually harmful contrast yesterday, and it's a separate issue from letting sites control their own brightness. Policing abuse of screen brightness should not be under the purview of browsers. This is a matter best handled through device level drivers. -- GitHub Notification of comment by eligrey Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/screen-wake-lock/issues/335#issuecomment-1152133666 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
