We apologize for the instability of composr.app and appreciate your patience. We are working on the statistics addon and trying to find an optimal way to store and render data. Unfortunately, we have yet to find a solution that can handle the traffic (and therefore, tens of millions of statistical records) of composr.app. We're working hard on one.
"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). "
