Capture sources of non-determinism #104

Open ithinkihaveacat opened 6 years ago

ithinkihaveacat commented 6 years ago

Some of the suggested uses cases seem to require that sources of non-determinism (such as RNG seeds and the current time) are captured to ensure that, for example, saving and sharing a web page can occur with greater fidelity.

I suspect this will be a v2 feature if we decide to do it at all: overriding the behavior of JS APIs is orthogonal to a bunch of the other things involved in packaging, and pinning RNG seeds has some definite security implications.

@dimich-g, you know more about the "save and share" use cases. Do you think this will turn out to be important?
