pointermove

"The page at xxxxx would like to track the movements of your mouse pointer. Do you wish to allow this action?"

I wonder how many pages are doing this already without their users noticing...

Reminds me of the old Win 95 joke:

    ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
    ┃ You have moved the mouse pointer ┃
    ┃                                  ┃
    ┃ Windows will have to restart to  ┃
    ┃        apply this change         ┃
    ┃                                  ┃
    ┃               [OK]               ┃
    ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

Precisely. I actually don't see the point in asking the user unless regular events _also_ get disabled.
