Re: [w3c/manifest] Privacy Review: handle start_url tracking (#399)

 
> I guess the core question is: is the `start_url` any more of a super cookie than creating bookmark? Both require a user gesture to be saved/installed, both are inspectable, and both can be deleted.

Can current pages create unique to-be-bookmarked pages and are they opened without displaying a URL?

> I agree that there is a possibility for a browser to classify and treat a start_url as a tracker, but I don't feel this raises to the level of a super cookie. So, I'm not saying we shouldn't do anything here - but I don't think it's a dire situation.

Well it does allow cookie respawn.
