Anne, Both Chrome and Safari support the ping attribute. I am not sure about IE, I believe Firefox has it disabled by default. FWIW I wouldn't consider this a huge failure, if anything I'd expect over time people to use ping where it's supported and fallback where it's not, resulting in the same privacy tradeoff for users of all browsers but better performance for some browsers than others, which will eventually lead to a predictable outcome... -Ian On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 3:06 AM, Anne van Kesteren <annevk@annevk.nl> wrote: > On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 12:21 AM, Ilya Grigorik <igrigorik@google.com> > wrote: > > A lot of the discussion so far focused on the async analytics beacon + > > unload use case.
