Tried this demo in Safari: https://arrival.space/htmlcanvas
Looks very cool, and showed a pretty message indicating there's even more:
```
  HTML IN CANVAS NOT SUPPORTED  
  Use Chrome and enable chrome://flags/#canvas-draw-element
```
Use Chrome... idontthinkiwill.jpg and aren't we supposed to reject these technologies that allow Google to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish[1]?
Kudos to the artist in spite of this unfortunately esoteric (wish it weren't) concern
[1](hope I'm wrong about it being a triple E https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis... )

Title should have been “html-in-canvas demos in gif on X”
I naively thought the “demo” was a demo, not a X posting by a twit.

I remember this repo a few weeks ago: https://github.com/remotion-dev/html-in-canvas
I wonder if it works in more than just Chrome Canary now.

How long until a canvas is used to render the full chrome of a web browser (e.g. including the TLS padlock), showing a fake benign URL in the (fake) address bar while having the user interact with a malicious page?

I had to poke around a little to learn this:
"The HTML-in-Canvas API lets you draw DOM content directly into a <canvas> or a WebGL and WebGPU texture while keeping the UI interactable, accessible, and hooked up to your favorite browser features."
