In the next few days I intend to disable HTTP/2 Push on all platforms. Status in other browsers is:
- Safari: although I couldn't find any resources regarding the deprecation of HTTP/2 Push in Safari, local testing with a nodejs server indicates that Safari rejects push streams in the current version. - Chrome: Disabled HTTP/2 push in Chrome 106 (September 2022) Chrome Platform Status <https://chromestatus.com/feature/6302414934114304> Bug to remove: 1915848 - Pref off HTTP/2 push <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1915848> Two years ago Chrome disabled HTTP/2 push citing low use, and recommending the rel="preload" and 103 Early hints as a replacement. Firefox has continued supporting HTTP/2 push as this wasn't too large of an effort until recently. However in the past few months we've encountered some webcompat bugs only affecting Firefox through HTTP/2 push: bug 1915830 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1915830>. This means that if webservers and websites use push and don't test in Firefox, this feature can potentially cause websites to stop working only in Firefox (eg bug 1913100 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1913100>) Though we will pref it off now, the implementation will remain in the tree for a while longer. Most likely we will remove it completely before we branch for ESR 140 in the spring of next year. Please let me know if you have any concerns.
