Notes

  • Jeff followed up on 784189
  • Gavin wanted something more encompassing than just keyword.url
  • Asa agrees that landing this fix is beneficial
  • We will want both a support article and possibly PR around this fix
  • Want to land this fix in 19. 18 could even be a possibility
  • We will be talking to Yahoo soon to fix toolbar optout issues.
  • Hotfix for addons may be more difficult than we assumed.
  • Asa recommends we fix in trains or is there a light weight hotfix specifically for preferences
  • We could advertise Jorge's addon fix in the snippet.
  • Should consider a one time reset for UA changes as well. We need to be careful as there are legitimate uses for this.

  • Jorge has hardcoded the block for Mozilla Safe Browser
