1773110 - (tp-pbm-missing-api-breakage) [meta] Private browsing mode breakage which seems to be due to missing web APIs

Status: ASSIGNED

(Web Compatibility :: Privacy: Site Reports, task, P3)

Description

[Thomas Wisniewski [:twisniewski]]

This meta-bug is meant to collect issues which have not been fully diagnosed, but seem to be related to Private browsing mode currently not supporting certain web APIs (service workers, indexedDB, DOM cache, etc).

It may be possible to use web compatibility interventions to spoof these APIs in some cases, to allow sites to function better than they otherwise do, until we have proper implementations of those APIs in PBM.
