Regrettably. Now, if it's a requirement or considered a very good idea for Chrome extension use cases perhaps you can push back against those arguments - a tri-state withCredentials would certainly be my favoured outcome if we can get the implementors onboard and avoid breaking existing content ;-) -Hallvord
