It's a user agent's choice whether or not they want to allow users to opt-in to bad privacy. There's a trade-off between privacy and functionality here; we all realize that. The functionality involved is sometimes purely a matter of aesthetics, but other times it may make the difference between a user being able to read a page or not. While a user agent may make various choices with regard to *default* behavior, it seems severe for a *user* agent to entirely block functionality that may be critical to the usability of web pages the user wants to see. Florian's proposed text uses *should* rather than *must*, so it does not impose a mandatory requirement on UAs, but I think it sends a worthwhile signal about the importance of this issue. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jfkthame Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/pull/5625#issuecomment-709467433 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
