OK so the browser reads ambient light leve to adjust screen brightness and font size

Or should that be the web sites responsibility?

Or both?

Is the browser just a "dumb window" on your phone/tab/PC/laptop or is it more active?

That said WTF needs to take ambient light readings at more than 1Hz?
