... that Google's Client Hints proposal was initially classified as "harmful" by Firefox?

New enough and long enough expansion. QPQ present. First thought is that Mozilla, not Firefox, would have been declaring CHs "harmful", Sohom Datta. The source says as much. Both hooks check out, but ALT0 and the article must be fixed before publication. (I do prefer ALT1 very slightly) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:37, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sounds good, in practise Firefox and Mozilla are used interchangeably in the browser spec world, however, in this instance it does make sense to use what the source says. How about:

ALT 0a: ... that the Client Hints proposal was initially classified as "harmful" by Mozilla?

ALT 0b: ... that Google's Client Hints proposal was initially classified as "harmful" by Mozilla?

Sammi Brie Let me know if you prefer the wording of one over the other :) Sohom (talk) 11:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

- Either ALT0a or ALT0b will work. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
