Add Option to Disable “Sharing Tab to [site]” Banner in Tab Sharing
Who's implementing?
- I'm willing to implement this feature myself
The problem
When using getDisplayMedia or tabCapture APIs to capture a specific browser tab for advanced applications (e.g. transcription services), a persistent banner appears at the top of the shared tab that reads:
“Sharing this tab to [destination domain]”
This UI element is unremovable, overlayed, and disruptive to the user experience
Possible solutions
Introduce a permission or flag (either via API or command line) to:
Disable the banner via dev tools or manifest permission
Suppress the banner for trusted domains or localhost (dev environments)
Allow capture sessions with a banner: false flag (similar to how camera/mic UI is sometimes hidden in fullscreen apps with explicit user permission)
