Follow-up to Issue 352425 . We have, or will be, ignoring fullscreen and mouse lock exceptions going forward, and instead just auto-accept on all sites. Assuming everything goes to plan, this will happen in:
- Windows, Linux, Chrome OS: M49
- Mac: M50 or M51
- Android: M51 ( Issue 523930 )
However, we are still storing the user data about fullscreen and mouse lock exceptions, and still exposing the exceptions UI to users (we have to, because we are still storing the data). We can't delete the data until we have stopped using it on all platforms and for all active versions of Chrome (otherwise, we might delete exceptions from sync that are still being used on some of the users' devices).
Assuming we no longer use the data in M51, we can't just delete it, because M51 will be in canary when M49 is stable. We need to wait until M51 is stable and then we can delete it from M53 in canary. I don't think it is time critical, so we just wait until M53.
