This could be a browser permission based feature, like location is at the moment. The app asks the browser to prompt the user to give permission for this domain to "Control your mouse pointer". The cursor should always be released when you alt-tab away or press the ESC key (maybe the would need to be a time limit within which the mouse couldn't be captured again).
