> The idea here is that users can already increase their screen brightness manually. The purpose of this attribute is to provide a hint to the browser that the user is in a situation where it can provide a simpler UI for doing so. My understanding is that there's no "simpler UI" - the browser calls the OS to increase the screen brightness if it satisfies the various conditions we're putting on this. > Sites shouldn't be depending on the browser providing that UI and should show platform-specific guidance for increasing brightness regardless. When the browser decides to provide the hint the user can ignore that guidance and follow the simpler path provided. It would be useful to progressively enhance the experience by knowing if the brightness was increased, be that by the user or automatically by the browser following the site's request. This would de-clutter the UX. Part of the motivation in requesting this functionality is that it's already quite difficult to come up with platform-specific guidance for every possible combination of: * device * operating system * OS skin * browser * screen Therefore having that capability would be a huge benefit to users and developers alike. -- GitHub Notification of comment by willmorgan Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/screen-wake-lock/issues/348#issuecomment-1274898409 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
