I worry that removing `filesystem:` for media elements on Android, while maintaining support for other platforms, will end up causing some developer confusion without much value for the codebase as a whole (since we need to maintain all the exciting bits and pieces of infrastructure). Are the numbers you quoted for media elements on those other platforms, or all element types? Perhaps we could remove support for media elements on all platforms if there's substantial benefit to doing so.
Honestly, I'd prefer that we outline a plan to fully remove `filesystem:` if we're not going to support it going forward (+Josh and +Victor). It has some pretty complicated effects on the security state of navigations, and while we have a reasonable plan for PolicyContainer integration with `blob:` URLs, we're still a ways away from doing the same for `filesystem:`. Is there a path towards deprecating and dropping support on other platforms? The large ChromeOS usage makes me somewhat suspicious that this is wrapped up in one Google property or another... have y'all done that analysis? -mike On Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at 7:48:54 PM UTC+1 Brianna Goldstein wrote: > Additionally to follow up on @Chris Harrelson <chris...@chromium.org>'s > question on usage - Chrome OS usage is 1.38%, Mac OSX is at 0.12% and > Windows is 0.05%.
