1675596 - Enable cookie purging by default in Release

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, task, P1)

Description

[Johann Hofmann [:johannh]]

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:
We would appreciate getting this pref-flip into 83. It will simply apply a default pref that 100% of release users already had from a Normandy rollout, so there shouldn't be any difference, but it makes things easier to handle and is less error-prone than dealing with Normandy for continued rollout. It also prevents late Beta from not having the feature.

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

• Needs manual test from QE?: No
• If yes, steps to reproduce:
• List of other uplifts needed: None
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): This pref was already flipped for 100% of the user population in release through a Normandy study. We have identified one issue and fixed it in 83. Apart from that things seem to have gone smoothly.
