• [@lukewarlow] Issue #361: Proposal: Add an API to integrate with the Credential Management Web API

#111
Browsers should allow override newtab/bookmarks/history as an optional behavior instead of forceable binary behavior.

[dotproto]

@hanguokai, added it to the list, but I think this is technically outside the scope of this group's remit.

The features and UX around those features are product decisions made by a given browser vendor. For the purposes of specifying a common platform we can discuss APIs, developer expectations, development patterns, etc., but I don't expect that any browser vendor will want to specify aspects of their program policies or store requirements.

[hanguokai]

@dotproto It's about product experience (improving user experience), but I don't think it's against the policy. I'll explain more details later in #111

[javifernandez]

Would it make sense to discuss again about #317 ? It seems there was an agreement on following the declarative approach implemented by Firefox, but we were waiting for some clearer position from Chrome.

[hanguokai]

It seems that there was no substantive progress on #317 at the last meeting(2022-12-08). In order to make progress in next meeting, @oliverdunk should ask Chrome's position internally before next meeting. Thanks you.

[oliverdunk]

Thanks for the callout @hanguokai. I'll try to look in to this.

[lukewarlow]

#361

APl to integrate extensions with the Credential Management API

[dotproto]

Updated the list to reflect comments up to this point.

Closing as the meeting will start shortly.

I am not very good at listening and speaking English, so it is difficult for me to discuss with you in a video conference. But welcome to communicate with me in text form on the issues.
