1047705 - emit an allowlist nsISecurityEventSink::onSecurityChange event in nsChannelClassifier so the frontend can display a broken shield icon

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1050348

(Core :: DOM: Security, defect)

Description

[[:mmc] Monica Chew (no longer reading bugmail)]

The mockup requires that a broken shield icon be displayed whenever tracking protection is globally enabled but disabled on a site. The cleanest place to do this is in nsChannelClassifier which already does allowlist lookups before enforcing tracking protection.

We are also changing the content loaders to fire a similar event when an element is blocked.

Perhaps we should consider merging the two emitters in the channel classifier.

Attachment: ShouldEnableTrackingProtection will update the security state of the document wand fire a security state change event to include the nsIWebProgressListener::STATE_LOADED_TRACKING_CONTENT flag if its return value is going to be false (no protection)

Attachment: ShouldEnableTrackingProtection will update the security state of the document and fire a security state change event to include nsIWebProgressListener::STATE_LOADED_TRACKING_CONTENT flag if it is about to recommend disabling protection for a page
