Details

Steps to reproduce:

  1. ./mach try perf, wait for results
  2. Click the PerfCompare URL from ./mach try perf
  3. Copy the URL from your browser's URL bar
  4. Send somebody else this URL
  5. They load the URL in their browser

Expected results:
The other person should see the same view that you saw.

Actual results:
The other person may see a different list because their cookies may contain a different set of filters.

Having the same URL show different results for different people is super non-obvious, surprising, and generally undesirable.
If we want to persist filters in cookies, then we need to have a distinction between "uninitialized" URLs and "initialized" URLs, and cookies should not change what's displayed for initialized URLs.
