Re: Big PING Ideas

Hi Mark,

Point taken!  Two follow up thoughts on this:

1) This isn’t _that_ different from the new semi-practice of gating things behind HTTPS (though I take your point that HTTP2 vs HTTP3 is _even_ harder for the developer to control than HTTP vs HTTPS)

2) Do you have ideas for other big-shiny new upcoming features we could use as a carrot to get people to opt into a more privacy-respecting feature set?

Pete

Making features unavailable based upon the underlying protocol is likely to cause a fair amount of chaos for them.
