Some feedback about the string: It sounds a bit like a command rather than an FYI notice. I can imagine people mistaking it for Chrome telling them that they need to delete their data.
Strawman proposal:
'You can clear your browsing data from this menu'
I also think it could be a good idea to point more explicitly at the menu button with an arrow or caret. In that case you could do something like:
'You can clear your browsing data here'
I just tried out the promo with VoiceOver on Canary, and it seems fine. The pattern goes:
1. Focus menu button -> "Main menu, button"
2. Move next with voiceover -> "You can clear your browsing data from this menu"
3. Move next -> "Close, button"
4. Move next -> "heading level 1, History"
Pushing the close button doesn't immediately move the voiceover focus, but it can be moved to the menu button/history title easily.
Removing the history component to get this out of the MD History P1 list.
dbeam/tbuckley: Feel free to shuffle around labels and priorities as is needed for MD Settings.
Components: -UI>Settings UI>Browser>History Status: Fixed (was: Started) Summary: [MD History] User education on using the side nav in narrow mode (was: [General] User education on Material Design changes)
eh, let's just make this specific to history for now, call it closed, and then make a new bug for settings later if we decide to use it
