As multiple third-party scripts might be added to a site during development, it can be difficult to see when a script is attempting to use new browser features that might have privacy consequences. Consider adding a simple alert so that scripts can be checked and/or the site Permissions-Policy set before deploying to production. The "alert" is for development purposes, and could be replaced with an analytics event if a site wants to monitor attempted use of Topics API by third parties in production. Related: h5bp#2459

interesting info - thanks for sharing! This might be useful to include in the docs once it becomes a standard/shipping in browsers - right now it's just in initial draft stage so I don't think it should be part of the base template or docs just yet. |

@coliff Thank you for reviewing. |

There is an issue in the Topics API repository for a better opt-out in HTML, such as a meta tag. If there is a better opt out in the final version of the proposal I will modify this draft pull request. |
