I only discussed Chrome content because the question was regarding breakage in Chrome, and I only had public use information for Chrome, like [chromestatus feature use data](https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/2369). Please share information about breakage in Firefox & Safari, if possible, to provide more color for this conversation. Sorry, I'm not well acquainted with available public data for Firefox & Safari.

Safari does not collect such data either. Given Safari always requires user gesture to paste, it's pretty safe to assume such websites are broken in Safari. If those websites are broken in Safari, on the other hand, it means the website has some Chrome/Chromium specific behavior. Even in such a scenario, this will likely remain Chrome/Chromium only permissions so the two-implementation requirement means that this permission should not be added back to the spec.
