Google being Google, they may do it just for the sake of squeezing revenue from less likely blockable ad popups.
This explains why they decided to work on HTML dialogs out of the blue. In their mind, dialog is popup, and an ad popup that you cannot block equals more money for them.
Probably they are creating an area in specification for them to exploit in the future. In a twisted way of course, via extension manifest V4 or something like that.
- hollowturtle 2y agoI think you're confusing some stuff. A native dialog element as a popup is easier to block, for example, you just have to select all dialog elements by tag name and convert them to div inlined elements or something like that. Can't do the same reliably when the dialog is created by a javascript library using a div that uses a random id or generated class name
