Description

[Steven Englehardt [:englehardt]]

These skip-list entries were shipped for the experiment described in Bug 1590149. The specific records related to this experiment are:

0: Object { schema: 1571936080266, feature: "fingerprinting-protection", pattern: "eyenewton.ru/,*.eyenewton.ru/", … }
​
2: Object { schema: 1571936118321, feature: "fingerprinting-protection", pattern: "gleam.io/,*.gleam.io/", … }
​
3: Object { schema: 1571936035244, feature: "fingerprinting-protection", pattern: "nudatasecurity.com/,*.nudatasecurity.com/", … }
​
4: Object { schema: 1571936002704, feature: "fingerprinting-protection", pattern: "mobials.com/,*.mobials.com/", … }
​
5: Object { schema: 1571936145819, feature: "fingerprinting-protection", pattern: "usocial.pro/,*.usocial.pro/", … }

We can decide when to revert these changes depending on the results of the experiment and our fingerprinting blocking shipment plans.

We've decided to remove the skiplist entries for gleam.io, usocial.pro, and mobials.com prior to the Firefox 72 release. The remaining skiplist entries from nudatasecurity.com and eyenewton.ru will be kept temporarily while we work through breakage issues with the respective companies. That work is tracked in Bug 1599124 and Bug 1590077, respectively.

I'll submit a change on remote settings to remove the three entries listed above and file follow-up bugs for the remaining entries.

I've removed the skiplist entries for gleam.io, usocial.pro, and mobials.com in stage and verified in Firefox release. I also verified that the entries for nudatasecurity.com and eyenewton.ru are still active. Moving to prod now.

I've verified the updates to PROD and filed Bug 1606144 and Bug 1606146 to track the remaining interventions.
