Will accessibility tools that rely on automating input to the browser cause it to become untrusted? Will it affect extensions?

So, either the spec is useless or restrictions will eventually be applied there too.

    Harder for scammers/hackers iirc.

    But this also makes it harder for devs to run tests.
