Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] First-Party Sets (#342)

We recognize that there are some substantial changes to the API since our [original review](https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/blob/main/reviews/first_party_sets_feedback.md).

We acknowledge that our use of the term *origin* in this feedback may have lead to confusion, and that we should have used the term *site* in this context. However, the fundamental points raised in that original review stand.

The primary change here is a reliance on the Storage Access API.  However, the decision to automatically grant requests has the same net effect as in the original proposal.  We do not think that labeling an auto-grant decision as "implementation-defined" is acceptable, as that defines how the web is experienced by websites and users.

The argument has been made that other browsers ship heuristics that do much the same thing. Our argument has been and continues to be that these heuristics are essentially a workaround and that we should not be building new technologies into the platform that cement this way of working. Furthermore, we observe that many browsers are working to eliminate the need for these heuristics.

We are therefore re-closing this review.
