It's conceivable that any {{ShortcutItem/url}} could be crafted to
2586+
indicate that the application was launched from outside the browser
2587+
(e.g., `"url": "/task/?from=homescreen"`). It is also conceivable
2588+
that developers could encode strings into the {{ShortcutItem/url}}
2589+
that uniquely identify the user (e.g., a server assigned
2590+
<abbr>UUID</abbr>). This is fingerprinting/privacy sensitive
2591+
information that the user might not be aware of.
