Feature description: Implement a background web contents delegate that can load a page without any associated tab/visuals
Eng owner: chili@
Design doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qz6h3hsPWhLg9WcaHguQNoy_3OOuNyfS8X6NJO6MX0w/edit#
Intent to impl: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QSdsSTcpb4uOtFGjXWSdkjsjE2CLC7OsDwdijBKbEnM/edit#Are you planning on experimenting before launch? Yes
Any new strings? No
Any implications for Google webservices (i.e. sync, translate)? No
Binary size? Tiny impact
Do the existing perf tests exercise all aspects of your new feature(s)? N/A
Created to track all CLs related to this feature, and so I can link to a bug, per +content/public/browser DEPS comment :)
Hopefully, this will be available in extensions API.
Currently we have to either use an iframe in background page and webRequest API to strip x-frame restriction headers or a pinned tab visible to the user.
