1994405 - [meta] Reduce Page Protection

Status: NEW

(Core :: Privacy: Anti-Tracking, task, P2)

Description

[Manuel Bucher [:manuel]]

Some internal documents:

• "Reduce Page Protections" Feature Proposal
• Engineering Kickoff: Reduce Page Protection
• Requirements: Reduce Page Protection

Gist:

The "Reduce Page Protections" feature would proactively address web compatibility issues by offering users the option to temporarily reduce certain privacy protections when a site isn’t functioning properly. This feature allows users to navigate compatibility challenges without having to leave Private Browsing mode.

Initial plan is to show a modal when we blocked tracking resources and the use reloads the page.

For a one-off beta testing, the QA-team is using these whiteboard tags to tag bugs whether they get resolved with the infobar (all bugs):

• [reduce-protection:fixed] (query): the infobar is shown on reload, clicking reload fixes the problem
• [reduce-protection:not-fixed] (query): the infobar is shown on reload, clicking reload doesn't fix the problem
• [reduce-protection:not-shown] (query): the infobar isn't shown on reload
• [reduce-protection:not-reproducible] (query): the report isn't reproducible anymore

All other bugs with whiteboard tags containing [reduced-protection:, but non of the above whiteboard tags: query.
