API Nepotism

Continuing on the topic of funding an alternative browser engine, Luca Casonato’s X post talks about a related concern:

So, Google Chrome gives all *.google.com sites full access to system / tab CPU usage, GPU usage, and memory usage. It also gives access to detailed processor information, and provides a logging backchannel.

This API is not exposed to other sites – only to *.google.com.
