Re: [whatwg/fetch] Block subresource requests whose URLs include credentials. (#465)

I'd suggest blocking those as well; they're included in the Chrome metric noted above, and they have similar properties from a security perspective. Basically, I think basic/digest auth is ~fine as a browser-mediated mechanism of allowing users to sign into sites and maintain state in some way. I think it's significantly less fine when the credentials are controlled by the page.
