FedCM (was WebID) #618
Comments
There is a lot to unpack here. We can't say that this is an unqualified good, particularly given the effect that it might have on IdPs and RPs. But we can at least signal some amount of positive interest. Closes mozilla#618.
So we've been quiet on this one, but @samuelgoto knows that we've been working out what to do with it for some time. We're broadly supportive of doing this work, even though we've identified a number of issues that mean that this is not an unreserved recommendation. Overall, being able to restore some amount of user control over the cross-site flow of information about them is one of our most important efforts. This covers a number of different facets, but we think that something like FedCM could be an important part of the overall strategy. A major complaint we hear about FedCM is that it is taking a generic capability and replacing it with a far more narrow and limited one. We think that - given how widely sites exchange information about user activity - this is justified and even necessary. Adding some friction to cross-site information flow is appropriate, especially if it means that users will be better able to observe and control those flows. I say "better" here advisedly. There are a number of aspects to this work that will need to be worked out carefully over time. While we see an opportunity to make cross-site information flow explicit - and permissioned - we see a number of challenges:
We also don't yet have complete confidence in some details of the design:
