Seems like a pretty tiny addition to an already shipped feature. Just one question on future compat:

Eg. sites deploying "*" today without appreciating the implications of asking for pages to be reloaded, then when we add "executionContexts" support in the future the user experience degrades enough that we can't actually ship it as part of the "*" set? Do we have guidance for developers on when to use "*" vs. a specific list?

I.e. can developers list a set of tokens along with "*" in order to use this compatibly on both Chrome and Firefox?
