Summary

These two APIs originally were used to modify/control the "status bar" text
at the bottom of browser windows. However, they have not had any effect on
Chrome's status bar for quite some time (many years at least), and they are
not standardized attributes. Gecko has not supported these attributes since
version 23; WebKit still supports these attributes. The related
window.status attribute *is* standardized, but also must never have an
impact on the window status bar (
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/window-object.html#dom-window-status).
The window.status attribute is not being modified with this launch.

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility



*Gecko*: Shipped/Shipping Shipped since Firefox 23.

*WebKit*: No signal

*Web developers*: No signals

*Other signals*:

Ergonomics

N/A


Activation

The only compat issue would be if code specifically depends on the presence
of `window.default[sS]tatus`. They have not had any behavioral impact for
many years, so the risk of this seems very low.


Security

None


WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?



Debuggability

Debuggable via the console.


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac,
Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?Yes

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues
in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may
introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of
the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
None - this is not a specified feature, and it is being removed for that
reason.
