This feature has a lot of amazing potential
Lots of potential for abuse, especially. Any API introduced into an industry-controlling browser granting too many local privileges seems absolutely wild given that the Internet's full of people trying new and creative ways to scam, hack, or otherwise inconvenience end users.
As someone with professional experience in web security, this API is like a nightmare come true.
