Specificationhttps://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/7425 Summary This is a recent change [1] to the spec for parsing the windowFeatures argument to window.open(). Previous to this change, window.open(url,'','popup=true') interpreted the 'popup=true' to mean popup is false. With this change, 'true' counts as a truthy value.

In that case, this change will change behavior. However, this seems exceedingly unlikely.
