Even though I can see the utility with this API, every single new web API seems to be a privacy and security disaster that conveniently enables the ad industry to obtain more data points to track you. AudioContext is a new "modern" JS API that is used almost exclusively by ad networks for tracking. It reveals latency information about your audio peripherals with no prompting, no permission and it operates silently on websites that literally never play audio. WASM is used for tracking over 90% of the time. All of the garbage Chrome has added to navigator and document objects, sometimes without documentation are used almost exclusively for egregious tracking.
