Some more details to clarify; while this did get approval all those years ago, a Chrome origin trial was never run, as we did an Edge OT and got enough feedback there to determine that more changes need to be made to the API.
Now that we have a new implementation to follow the changes in the API shape, we would like to request approval to run an Origin Trial in Chrome 146-149. Could we get that approval here, or should we request it in a new Intent to Experiment thread? Since the original Intent to Experiment, significant progress has been made in these areas: - *New *Explainer: Focusgroup (Explainer) | Open UI <https://open-ui.org/components/scoped-focusgroup.explainer/> - Draft spec <https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11723> - TAG review <https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/1152> - Signals - Webkit standards position <https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/171> - Firefox standards position <https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/631> - Outreach for feedback from the spec community: - focusgroup has been discussed at length in AriaWG, OpenUI, and is currently stage 1 in WHATWG. - WPT tests: html/interaction/focus/focusgroup/tentative <https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/tree/fe1ba1cd52648eebee2662d3e8d814b9d242906e/html/interaction/focus/focusgroup/tentative> On Monday, January 26, 2026 at 1:21:16 PM UTC-8 Jacques Newman wrote: > Hi folks, I'm wanting to kick off another Origin Trial for focusgroup from > 146-149, now with the new version of the implementation, see Focusgroup > (Explainer) | Open UI > <https://open-ui.org/components/scoped-focusgroup.explainer/> > > Let me know if I can get approval for an extension to that original > experiment, if we need to make a new entry, or something else. > Thanks! > -Jacques > > > On Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at 4:02:29 PM UTC-7 Chris Harrelson wrote: > >> LGTM to experiment. >> >> On Wed, May 18, 2022 at 2:09 PM 'Benjamin Beaudry' via blink-dev < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >>> We are planning to run the OT in Microsoft Edge 104, 105 and 106. >>> ------------------------------ >>> *From:* Yoav Weiss <[email protected]> >>> *Sent:* Monday, May 16, 2022 9:39 PM >>> *To:* Benjamin Beaudry <[email protected]> >>> *Cc:* [email protected] <[email protected]> >>> *Subject:* [EXTERNAL] Re: [blink-dev] Intent to Experiment: Focusgroup >>> >>> You don't often get email from [email protected].
