Great showcase on how much data your browser is unnecessarily bleeding to every website out there that wants it.

Genuine, non-rhetorical questions: does anyone know why the hell your browser needs to tell the site

where your pointer is, instead of telling it which elements you clicked and calling a day?
if the window is active/inactive?
the relative position of the window in your screen, instead of just its approximate size?

Some ideas:

for custom elements and general interaction, e.g., custom drag and drop or sliders
for instance YouTube does this whether to auto play videos or to keep them muted
i dont know, maybe for layouting things
