The Chrome 70 beta will incorporate shape detection that makes a device's shape detection capabilities available on the web; letting you identify faces, barcodes, and text in images. Security features coming to Chrome 70 beta will use macOS's TouchID and Android's fingerprint sensor via Web Authentication as biometric authenticators. Web Bluetooth in Windows 10 will allow websites to communicate with user-selected Bluetooth devices in a secure and privacy-preserving way.

The Shape Detection API consists of three APIs: A Face Detection API, a Barcode Detection API and a Text Detection API. Given an image bitmap or a blob, the Face Detection API returns the location of faces and the locations of eyes, noses, and mouths within those faces.
 
Taking bets on how long before malware allows for a website to turn on your camera and record you dancing in the nude; while porting your cellphone number to steal your crypto and stealing your fingerprint to login to a secure website.
 
Will this help get rid of the goddamn fucking annoying ass broken shitty stupid waste of time reCAPTCHAs? If there was something more annoying on the internet I seriously don't know of it.
 
How long till Google starts analyzing what kind of images you are looking at?

That's a little creepy imho
