About this tag
The File API is a key HTML5 feature that enables web applications to read files stored locally on a user's system.

More recently, the tag is associated with critical security updates in Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge, specifically CVE-2025-8580, a filesystem vulnerability that was patched to protect users. These threads highlight the File API's role in both enabling interactive web features and necessitating prompt security fixes in modern browsers.
