  It worked for me as a grey button, which made me question why this is on Page 1. But the demo looks much cooler [1], I guess if you give it camera permissions.

  Cool idea, looks good in demo, but in firefox (for me) only reflects the camera input in the top ~10% of the button. And in Min, didn't work at all.

  I have a bunch of stuff blocked at network level, probably that - mebbe shrugs

  (Not given much depth of thought or time, just clicked allow in both browsers)

  Pfft doesn’t even do eye-tracking, unusable. (This is a joke.)
