Explainer https://github.com/w3c/window-management/blob/main/EXPLAINER_spec_and_permission_rename.md Specification https://w3c.github.io/window-management/#api-permission-api-integration Summary Removes the legacy "window-placement" alias for permission and permission policy "window-management". This is a follow-up to https://chromestatus.com/feature/5146352391028736 and corresponding blink-dev PSA <https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/Hf2b1-S39Uw/m/YAEC_0DSBQAJ>. The "window-placement" alias has been showing console deprecation warnings since M113 <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/13204be718225ae09c8ba7e36b055a369c36c878>. We will disable WindowPlacementPermissionAlias <https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/blink/renderer/platform/runtime_enabled_features.json5?q=-f:gen%2F%20AND%20-f:out%2F%20WindowPlacementPermissionAlias> by default, and remove the flag and legacy code shortly thereafter. Blink component Blink>Screen>MultiScreen <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3EScreen%3EMultiScreen> TAG review No feedback was specifically requested for the permission rename, however related TAG reviews have been requested with both the old (1 <https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/413>, 2 <https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/602>) and new terminology ( 3 <https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/840>). TAG review status Not applicable Risks Interoperability and Compatibility There are low compatibility risks. Usage for the legacy permission and permission policy are ~0.006 <https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/4448> and ~0.015 <https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/4450> (% page loads) while the new variants are ~1.166 <https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/4447> and ~3.066 <https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/4449> (% page loads) respectively, indicating most usage has already migrated. Gecko: No signal Firefox has not implemented the API and corresponding permission yet. WebKit: No signal Safari has not implemented the API and corresponding permission yet. Web developers: We have communicated internally with partners using the API who have expressed commitment to updating the permission strings in their code. Other signals: Positive comment <https://github.com/w3c/window-placement/pull/115#pullrequestreview-1159676614> from W3C WG Chair WebView application risks This is considered low risk. It removes an alias without any change in behavior of the underlying API. Debuggability Disabling WindowPlacementPermissionAlias <https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/blink/renderer/platform/runtime_enabled_features.json5?q=-f:gen%2F%20AND%20-f:out%2F%20WindowPlacementPermissionAlias> will stop DevTools deprecation warnings for usage of the legacy strings and instead will act as if they did not exist at all (e.g. Permission API will produce an error when using "window-placement"). Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? No. This feature is not supported on Android. Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md> ? Yes. Web Platform tests have already been migrated to the new alias: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/tree/master/window-management Flag name on chrome://flags None Finch feature name WindowPlacementPermissionAlias Requires code in //chrome? False Tracking bug https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1328581 Estimated milestones M123 (flag disable) M125 (flag/code removal) Anticipated spec changes None Link to entry on the Chrome Platform Status https://chromestatus.com/feature/5137018030391296 This intent message was generated by Chrome Platform Status <https://chromestatus.com/>. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blink-dev" group.
