こんにちはTAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of:

• Name: Changes to prefetch requests + processing model to preserve privacy
• Specification URL: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/4115; https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/pull/881
• Explainer: A full explainer does not yet exist. The original motivation for these changes are currently logged in https://github.com/w3c/resource-hints/issues/82. Once an explainer has been created I'll update this thread.
• Tests: None at the moment
• Primary contacts (and their relationship to the specification): @domfarolino, @kinu, @yutakahirano (reviewers/implementers), @yoavweiss (spec PR author)

Further details:

• I have read and filled out the Self-Review Questionnare on Security and Privacy.
• I have reviewed the TAG's API Design Principles

You should also know that: Only early discussion has been going on regarding the changes to prefetch requests, and their processing model (HTML Standard PR above). We, Chrome, thought it would be best to request a TAG review early on as we're interested in making these changes in order to better-preserve privacy on the web platform. This is Blink's Intent thread. At the time of writing, the total compatibility effects of these changes are unknown, however we intend to experiment with an initial implementation. There has been some discussion from Apple regarding these changes as well.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as:

• open issues in our GitHub repo for each point of feedback
• open a single issue in our GitHub repo for the entire review
• leave review feedback as a comment in this issue and @-notify [github usernames]
