Re: [mediacapture-region] What makes CropTarget special to require an asynchronous creation? (#17)

> The issue is not really about other UA implementations but about web developer impact. For instance, given Chrome is globally capping the number of CropTarget due to resource exhaustion risks, web developers might want to cautiously create CropTargets, typically only once they know the web page is being captured. This goes against the idea of a web site proactively creating some CropTargets. This might also have an impact on future additions to this API.

As previously explained, the global limit is an artifact of the current implementation, and can be changed in a number of ways. The minimal step forward is to make the limitation per-iframe rather than per-tab; that much is likely quite simple, and I doubt more would be needed.


> It would be good to understand whether Chrome has a plan to fix this global resource exhaustion issue. As I understand it, the main problem seems to be implementation cost.

I'll be happy to share more about my plans for prioritizing work in Chrome if you would be interested in likewise sharing Apple's timelines for implementing this feature. Given the high engagement, may I read that both Mozilla and Apple are prioritizing this work highly and intend to accomplish it in the near future?
