To do a controlled introduction of the new link handling behavior, we need: - a pref associated with it, - have this pref exposed to Nimbus. Rationale: We want to introduce new external link handling behavior in the following way: - Offer the setting for everyone as an opt-in (off by default) - In parallel, launch an experiment, making it ON by default for new users, - In case of no negative impact is detect, make new link handling behavior a new default for new users. We would still need to figure out how to offer/switch existing users to this behavior (messaging, else).
