console.log(...) no longer logging to logcat

Reported by da...@davidmanouchehri.com, Dec 30 
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Chrome 71.0.3578.83 or newer on an Android device.
2. Run `adb logcat chromium:V "*:S"` to watch for messages.
3. Open a page with "console.log('test')" or any console.* functions for debugging.

What is the expected behavior?
The console.log message should have been mirrored to logcat. Example:

chromium [INFO:CONSOLE(3)]  "test", source http://127.0.0.1/ (3)

What went wrong?
No messages were sent to logcat.

Did this work before? Yes 70.0.3538.110

Chrome version: 71.0.3578.83  Channel: stable
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

I've searched for awhile and cannot find any official announcement on this change. #905251 seems to imply that such a change might be coming, but provides no commit references and the ticket isn't even closed yet.

While I understand this might have been a "privacy enhancement", developers really need to be informed when their workflow is going to be interrupted (and ideally provided with a solution, like instructions on which new flag to toggle).

Are you talking about log messages from pages loaded in Chrome, or in a WebView? The WebView team are intending to remove this in future (as issue 905251 says) but we haven't done so yet. It's possible that someone has changed it for Chrome already though?

I only tested Chrome, not WebView.

Are you using a release/production device and APK (i.e. not debug)?
