Practical Privacy Concerns in a Real World Browser
Abstract
Google Chrome has implemented a number of
HTML5 APIs, including the Geolocation
API and various storage APIs. In this paper we discuss some of our experiences on the
Google Chrome team in implementing these
APIs, as well as our thoughts around privacy
for new APIs we are considering implementing. Specifically, we discuss our ideas of how
providing access to things such as speech,
web cameras, and filesystems can be done in
ways that are understandable and in the natural flow of users.
