Description

We currently have no good way to indicate to a user when some sensitive API is in use by a page, e.g. the page has access to the camera or the microphone that's currently recording.

It would be great to see an event that signals when these APIs are being actively used by site:

  • Geolocation
  • Camera
  • Microphone

With events fired when these are enabled and then later disabled.
