1702248 - Limit the encoding_detection_outcome_html and encoding_detection_outcome_text probes to top-level navigations

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, task, P2)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

The data from these probes may be contaminated by advertising iframes. Limiting these to top-level navigations will probably give a better idea of the status of the documents that the user wants to read. (As opposed to documents that contain a lot of code, an image, and perhaps some copyright footer.)
