My 2c, no website should ever be able to dictate if my monitor goes or
not to standby. More to the point, I think the screen locking is also
disabled and this makes it a potential security issue, as it would be
trivial for any external party to weaken the security profile applied by
the user. Just as we control how we must explicitly allow websites to
grab audio, or video, we should also explicitly control if it can
override other system settings. Or, there should be something similar
with how macos or android grants some permissions on a per-app basis.
