{Note: I previously sent what should have been an intent to deprecate and
remove for this feature. However, that one failed to make it to the right
dashboards due to the subject line being incorrect. See that prior

it has some good discussion particularly about the use counters, which have
improved a lot since January.}
Contact emailsmas...@chromium.orgExplainerNone SpecificationNone Summary The prototype implementation (which was shipped in 2020 and then shape-changed in 2023) contained a method called `getInnerHTML()` that could be used to serialize DOM trees containing shadow roots. That part of the prototype was not standardized with the rest of declarative shadow dom, and only recently has it reached spec consensus ( https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/8867). As part of that consensus, the shape of the getInnerHTML API changed. This feature represents the deprecation of the old, shipped `getInnerHTML()` method. The replacement is called `getHTML()`, and it shipped in M125. See https://chromestatus.com/feature/5102952270528512 for that feature. {Note: This should be the last (!) intent related to the "old" declarative shadow DOM features.} Blink componentBlink>DOM>ShadowDOM <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3EDOM%3EShadowDOM> TAG reviewNone TAG review statusNot applicable Risks Interoperability and Compatibility The use counter for getInnerHTML() ( https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/3874) peaked at 0.05% of page loads using this function as of January 2024, and dropped precipitously toward 0.01% in May, 2024. This is presumably due to the shipment of its replacement, getHTML(). While 0.01% still represents high usage for deprecation, the numbers were significantly worse for the deprecation of the old `shadowroot` attribute, and the removal of that feature generated zero bug reports. It is my strong belief that since this feature is only shipped in Chrome, the vast majority of usage is guarded by feature checks. So this deprecation should be safer than it would seem from the numbers. I'd like to remove this feature in M127 in code, with a killswitch (a re-enable switch really) in case of problems. *Gecko*: No signal *WebKit*: No signal *Web developers*: No signals *Other signals*: 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?
