This could be a browser permission based feature, like location is at the moment. The app asks the browser to prompt the user to give permission for this domain to "Control your mouse pointer". The cursor should always be released when you alt-tab away or press the ESC key (maybe the would need to be a time limit within which the mouse couldn't be captured again).

>maybe the would need to be a time limit within which the mouse couldn't be captured again Why not re-capture only when the user clicks on the game again? In fact, I don't think the permission bar is needed at all, it would be implicitly given by clicking. Of course, ESC should always work. Which would actually work fine for most games, since ESC presents a menu where the pointer isn't supposed to be frozen anyway.
