This is an issue with that particular website's implementation, not something inherent to the browser or the API.

When that statement applies to 90% of pages out there, that argument gets more stale than cracker left out for the better part of a year.

That staleness, in fact, is why no one is encouraged to run blind unauthenticated proxies on the Internet anymore. Completely valid technology. Very problematic use case.

because the product manager thought my user session was engaging with the site for 2 seconds longer so it must be good.

I never said it was the browser or the API just acknowledging that it is a predictable gripe and not a feature, and yes enabled by the browser and APIs
