"The team behind Chromium – the open source engine of Google Chrome and other browsers – is working on a way to enable those surfing the web to pay for the stuff they read or watch without any interaction."

This is VERY concerning. While I understand they will have permission settings at the top-level, once they're set, I'm assuming the user would no longer physically consent to these transactions / they happen automatically (since consent requires interaction). That can open up a whole can of worms for unauthorized transactions. And I can imagine a whole bunch of legal problems with this as well.

If we implement this, I vote that we do so ethically... we prompt the user for consent each time via Composr first before the transaction goes through. And the responsible modules have a log of the user having granted explicit consent. Perhaps this should be exclusive to eCommerce (e.g. runs through and requires this addon), and eCommerce handles / logs the transactions similar to a standard payment. Then any other addons which could utilise this feature would do so as an extension / hook.

"It is RECOMMENDED that a user agent provide some UI or indicator that allows the user to know when monetization is possible and/or when monetization is occurring. Providing such a UI allows the users to retain control of the monetization process by taking action (e.g., stop or start monetization of a particular site if they wish to do so). "
