I still think increasing the overall brightness of the device screen while a website is visible to the user is valuable in cases we've enumerated in the explainer. Even though permission-less is technically possible today with [hacks](https://kidi.ng/wanna-see-a-whiter-white/), it is not 100% reliable as it depends on specific hardware. A standardised Screen Brightness API on the other hand would allow websites to request for brightness increase in a consistent way that could be granted when certain conditions are met. -- GitHub Notification of comment by beaufortfrancois Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/screen-wake-lock/issues/335#issuecomment-1167171224 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
