1530080 - Fingerprinting and Cryptomining Breakage Study

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Data Science :: Experiment Collaboration, task)

Description

[Arthur Edelstein [:arthur]]

Brief Description of the request: We want to investigate the breakage caused by fingerprinting and cryptomining blocking.

Any timelines for the request or how this fits into roadmaps:
We hope to run this test during April (Firefox 66), with time for analysis and a a go/no-go for shipping these protections in 68.

This will be similar to a current add-on breakage study, that turns on Cookie Restrictions for the Basic list and collects breakage reports: https://experimenter.services.mozilla.com/experiments/cookie-restrictions-blocking-breakage/

Current fingerprinting and cryptomining lists (see the “Cryptomining” category and domains with the “fingerprinting” tag). These lists will be expanded prior to the study starting. https://github.com/mozilla-services/shavar-prod-lists/blob/8caa4d2f8fad411c837d74666df6ec19f48c42f1/disconnect-blacklist.json

Fairly sure that this got replaced by bug 1533778 and bug 1562545.
