Extending an existing API about about

[Happy-Ferret]

Yea. Sorry. I accidentally wrote PR. Meant to say issue. I edited it.

Thanks. Will do this then. :)

We don't have any way for community-contributed experiments to be signed so there's not any policy.. If there's a change to something like browser.cookies that you'd like to propose, an experiment can be a useful way to prototype and demonstrate the change, but ultimately something like that would, if approved, land directly in mozilla-central.

[Happy-Ferret]

Oh. I understand it would be landing in mozilla-central directly.

My question is whether it makes sense to open up an issue for it on here.

Hey @Happy-Ferret! You probably don't want to submit a PR for your experiment, but yes, please open a new issue on this repo. We'll ask the engineering team to review the experiment and ask you to come to an upcoming design-decision-triage meeting to check in about next steps.

If the experiment is approved, we'll assign a mentor to help you uplift it to mozilla-central.

[Happy-Ferret]

Well. Whatcha know.

The functionality my API experiment would've provided is already available with Nightly, under browser.privacy.websites.cookieConfig (I've written a small add-on using that functionality. Cookies)

I guess next time I'll need to check Bugzilla more thoroughly.

Still. This thread was very informative. Thanks, everyone. 😺
