To add some more context here, we recently had some discussions about this in the WebExtensions Community Group. While we could add an API in the extension namespace (e.g, browser.dom.querySelector) there was alignment across the extension teams from Chrome, Firefox and Safari that we would prefer to put this closer to the web platform.

Based on previous discussions about other capabilities, I could imagine this being a new API or an `{ includeShadowRoots: true }` option on an existing method (e.g, querySelector).

That doesn&#39;t mean this has to be exposed to all sites - we could still allow the user agent to prevent anything other than an extension from calling it / setting the new flag.
