These ones:
Web Bluetooth
Web MIDI API
Magnetometer API
Web NFC API
Device Memory API
Network Information API
Battery Status API
Ambient Light Sensor
HDCP Policy Check extension for EME
Proximity Sensor
WebHID
Serial API
Web USB
Geolocation Sensor (background geolocation)
User Idle Detection
Note: I do understand Apple's privacy concerns with some or even most of them. But most of these are obviously necessary if you want to turn the browser into the main application platform, for better and for worse.
