Abstract

In this work we present the design and implementation of a platform for automated measurement of the use of JavaScript APIs in a web browser. This platform is based on OpenWPM, which is used to instrument the web browser. In our architecture, the browser is extended with a modified Web API Manager extension, which allows to capture calls to JavaScript methods and log information about these calls. The platform was used to perform measurements on a 10,000 websites. From the analysis of the data obtained by the measurement, we found that the most used APIs over measured websites are APIs specified in HTML and DOM standards, High Resolution Time API and Web Cryptography API. Within the APIs that were implemented in Mozilla Firefox after 2016, we identified the Intersection Observer API, Background Tasks API and Resize Observer API as the most frequently used.
