Does it mean the OS is volunteering the information that something is tapping into the framebuffer? Can that be disabled to render the browser clueless?

Same can happen with Chrome + Google Meet + OBS Studio btw.

AFAIK, the OS provides this information and, at least on Windows, you can't circumvent it easily. I was told it is one of these things that large content providers demand.

I am curious how it works on Linux.

I just tried it out on Ubuntu using Google Meet web app via Chrome, and tried streaming Netflix to my friend.

Nothing weird happened and all content could easily be streamed.

Thanks!
