Yes, it's the browser engine's job to avoid creepiness wrt to camera. My fault for being unclear: the engine won't rely on the behavior of document.hasFocus(), we were merely planning to reference the same underlying algorithm https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/interaction.html#has-focus-steps — But on reflection, it may not even be right given how other browsers behave wrt the url bar. Sorry for the side-track.

I'm not aware of any practical application of the document.hasFocus() API vis-à-vis the URL bar other than consistency.

I notice the same problem happens in iframes as well: https://jan-ivar.github.io/dummy/iframe_focus.html — which violates the existing spec even without my patch.

Not informing a web page about every little focus loss caused by browser-chrome widgets seems reasonable to me, but I don't see what the discrepancy between the blur/focus events and the hasFocus() function accomplishes, since the page is still told about the unfocusing, at least in the URL bar case I observed.
