Specification
https://privacycg.github.io/nav-tracking-mitigations/#bounce-tracking-mitigations


Summary

Bounce tracking mitigations for the HTTP cache is an extension to existing 
anti-bounce-tracking behavior. It removes the requirement that a suspected 
tracking site must have performed storage access in order to activate bounce 
tracking mitigations. Chrome's initially proposed bounce tracking mitigation 
solution triggers when a site accesses browser storage (eg cookies) during a 
redirect flow. However, bounce trackers can systematically circumvent such 
mitigations by using the HTTP cache to preserve data. By relaxing the 
triggering conditions for bounce tracking mitigations, the browser should be 
able to catch bounce trackers using the HTTP cache.

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?

None




Debuggability

There exists a section in Chrome devtools to try out bounce tracking 
mitigations (see link for context). It currently checks for the current 
(stateful) behavior and will be updated after the fact. Progress for devtools 
parity is tracked in https://crbug.com/399681359.

Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, 
ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?
No
This feature is supported on all platforms except WebView.



Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?
Yes

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
