As of Firefox 125 I intend to remove SecureContext restriction from Gamepad API.
This restriction is added as a part of cross-browser coordination to prevent fingerprinting <https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/07/securing-gamepad-api/>. So far Gecko has been the only implementation that shipped the restriction, and we figured that requiring HTTPS does not fulfill the previous purpose anymore as almost everything is HTTPS now <https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/overview?hl=en>. As this affects web compatibility, we are lifting the restriction in agreement with WebKit <https://github.com/w3c/gamepad/issues/145#issuecomment-1935123987>. Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1870037 Standard PR: https://github.com/w3c/gamepad/pull/194 Other browsers: - Blink: They never shipped the restriction but only the warning. - Safari: Same as Blink, and the warning is being removed: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/24550 web-platform-tests: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/44678 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "[email protected]" group.
