>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 physical threat model is already broken. > >Existing "normal" levels of brightness can already be abused 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. My basis for suggesting that the API is gated by user gesture (and feature policy) is to prevent third party origins and scripts from increasing screen brightness without user consent to prevent against battery drainage and ad annoyances. -- GitHub Notification of comment by willmorgan Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/screen-wake-lock/issues/335#issuecomment-1152650650 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
