Oddbean new post about login | logout Can you confirm that the only way for Amber support to work is to allow Nostrudel to access the clipboard? And does that mean Nostrudel has access to it at all times or only when an Amber request is made?
Unfortunately there is no other way for PWA web apps to receive data back from Amber without reading the clipboard. Once you grant noStrudel permission to read the clipboard I believe it has to be initiated by a user action (ie. click or type) more info here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/User_activation But it could effectively read the clipboard whenever it wanted
Yeah that's what I imagined, it's unfortunate but I understand that there is always tradeoffs. Thanks for the detailed reply, I appreciate it!
