Possibly, but I feel that this conflicts with the expressed will of the community (to prevent anonymous users from being able to use VisualEditor). > That would streamline testing in many browsers, as we wouldnt need to log in > on each browser - which is a bugger because logging into a second browser > causes the first browser to be logged out.(bug 49890) Understood the use-case (I have the issue too). (In reply to comment #1) > p.s. anon VE testing via URL params used to work. Because it was enabled for all anons; when the configuration was changed, this feature was disabled. It is not a regression.
