Back in the WebVR days the sentiment was we can never do this because security.
In my experience with standards bodies/Chrome, anything outside of the owning company's product goals is "no, because security", and then then they flip-flop on that when the browser feature becomes a dependency for something an internal team is working on (which happened many times with WebVR, now WebXR).
So I'm curious what is Google working on that has this as a dependency, now that they've 180'd on it?
This had to do with leaking privacy sensitive information such as visited links by reading back pixels from a rendered <a>. They fixed this with a concept they call "read-back-allowed rendering"
Wouldn't it make more logical sense to add canvas to html elements? I.e. checkbox.getContext("2d").fillRect(...)
