    And? So does every Chromium-based browser. That's how the custom (read: closed source) extensions work. "Component extensions" are used to interact with them normally: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/extens...

    See https://blogs.opera.com/security/2021/09/8000-bug-bounty-hig... and https://blogs.opera.com/security/2021/09/bug-bounty-guest-po... for examples of when there are vulnerabilities in those extensions, and how they can be abused for remote code execution.

    Any whitelisted domains for these APIs cannot be written to using user-installed extensions, in order for a malicious extension to not be able to inject a script and execute the special API.
