The wonderful world of new Web APIs
summary
Demonstrations show concrete, working Web features: a local font access API that can list ~310 installed fonts versus the ~24 web‑safe fonts, gated behind navigator.permissions.request and navigator.fonts.query; a window.getScreens/window placement API that reads multi‑monitor layouts so windows move with window.moveTo; a keyboard lock for fullscreen remote apps; and binary clipboard writes via navigator.clipboard.write. Demos run behind Chrome flags or origin trials and successfully paste images into Google Slides.
