Use privileged APIs for simulating user interaction

Open eligrey opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

This tool relies on unprivileged web content APIs instead of using the proper privileged APIs available to extensions (with debugger permissions) & Chrome DevTools Protocol sessions.

Some consent managers are implemented with security protections that require genuine user interactions that cannot be spoofed by web content APIs.

Additionally, site owners can sabotage this tool by backdooring or breaking the web APIs that it relies on.
