1467609 - iOS's tracking protection should use the same mapping as gecko's

Status: NEW

(Firefox for iOS :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[François Marier [:francois]]

When bug 1459037 lands, tracking protection in gecko will use this mapping for the entries that are in the "Disconnect" category of the tracking protection list (i.e. Google, Facebook, Twitter):

https://github.com/mozilla-services/shavar-list-creation/blob/master/disconnect_mapping.py

It would be good if we were consistent across products.

What does this mean? Do we need to expose this new category in the UI?

Comment 2

[François Marier [:francois]]

No, it's rolling up the contents of the Disconnect category (Google, Twitter, Facebook) into the existing categories.

Focus already has such a mapping (I assume FxiOS is the same), so this is just a matter of using the same mapping across products.

This requires new strings. We cant land this in 13 now.
