Re: [whatwg/fetch] Add TAO check (#955)

That is correct. Currently you only get timing data of the very-first redirect's start and the very-lst redirect's end.

Might be worthwhile to add a note to Resource Timing indicating that same-origin redirects may contain sensitive information and we want to be careful when exposing more details about them. We already have requests to expose more information about redirects, but we could probably gate that behind TAO or some other opt-in (even for same origin) once we actually plan to do that.
