I'd rather that didn't happen. The current web ecosystem of adtech companies and data brokers makes the web one of the last places where I'd want to entrust my files with. And before anyone mentions permissions, I don't see that putting a stop to data harvesting. Because if that even worked, social media would not have been a thing. It has been shown that people just "willfully" give up their data without giving as much thought to the consequences. So if this web filesystem plan goes through, entire services would be built around users giving companies access to their files, and those would go straight to the ad networks. Less friction in the browser means that we'd see an exponential increase in those type of services. So the current friction is better for user privacy.
