Description Sam Weinig 2020-09-19 11:15:54 PDT
The GenericCueAPIEnabled experimental preference is currently enabled by default in WebKit2, but disabled by default in WebKitLegacy.

Can we enabled generic cue in WebKitLegacy? If not, can we at least remove the experimental setting in WebKit2 now?

Jer & Eric, thoughts?
Comment 2 Eric Carlson 2020-09-21 09:10:06 PDT
Should we support it in WK1 at all?

If we can without undue burden, I think it makes things more straightforward to support them universally.

It isn't a burden, but it seems strange to add new features to something we don't want people to use.

Most features we add aren't behind a feature flat at all, so we do this all time implicitly. If we want to stop making features available to WebKit1, we will really need to fork it off.
