Can you describe what a permission prompt would look like that allows the user to make an informed decision about whether they should allow or deny the permission?

Greetings WebKit engineers,

I would like to request an official position from the WebKit team on the emerging Idle Detection API specification. I am aware that this API was included in a list of APIs which you have decided not to implement due to fingerprinting concerns. I assume that this objection was based on the original explainer provided for this API. Since that list was posted the API has been extended to include a permission that sites must acquire before being granted access to user presence signals. I would like to start a conversation to understand the fingerprinting risks you foresee from this API.
