Specification
https://wicg.github.io/fenced-frame


Summary
Fenced frames are nested frames that embed content onto a page without the 
ability to share data between the fenced frame and its embedder. window.fence 
APIs include Fenced frames Ads reporting (FFAR) JS APIs that were created for 
privacy-safe ads reporting from FFs created using Protected Audience and 
SelectURL and getNestedConfigs() to support PA component ads. This intent is 
for removing both of these. Fenced frames element removal will be two step as 
detailed below. With the removal (or stub API replacement) of PA and selectURL, 
FFs can no longer be navigated and thus it is safe to remove them. Fenced 
frames are only able to be navigated using the urn:uuid in a 
FencedFrameConfig[1], which can only be created using the return values from 
runAdAuction and selectURL. These APIs are being deprecated and removed in M152 
as per the following Intent threads: Protected Audience[2], Shared Storage[3]. 
Plan: Given that the fenced frames element can no longer be navigated, we 
propose removing the element from the code in the following phases: 1. M154: 
Keep the fenced frame element and its associated IDL dependencies as stubs. 
This is to ensure no JS call throws, egcalling 
fenced-frame-element.config.setSharedStorageContext(). 2. M154: In the same 
milestone we will also remove the window.fence APIs completely. Since there is 
no FF document navigation, these APIs cannot be invoked anymore, so it will be 
a no-op. 3. M155 Canary/Beta: Begin a controlled rollout of the stub FF HTML 
element removal via a field trial. Note that removing the element will resolve 
it to HTMLUnknownElement. At this point we are requesting approvals for all of 
the above steps. 4. M155 Stable: Assuming there are no regressions or breakage 
after reaching 1% stable, we will request additional approval for full removal 
of the FF element.

Web Feature ID
No information provided


Motivation
As described in the summary section, since fenced frames are no longer able to 
be navigated to a document, once PA and selectURL are removed, we should also 
remove FFs API for code health and to remove unused APIs from the web platform.

Risks




Interoperability and Compatibility
Since fenced frames were not implemented by other browser vendors, there is no 
interoperability risk. Removing fenced frames is backward compatible once PA 
and selectURL have been removed since FFs can then no longer be navigated to a 
document. But there may be minor inconsistencies b/w FF element and 
HTMLUnknownElement, eg their default size so we plan to keep FF element as a 
stub and remove the stub via field trial.

WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it 
has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
No information provided



Debuggability
We will add an issue to dev tools when FF is converted to a stub element, 
whenever a FF element is created, that they will be removed shortly.


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, 
ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?
Yes


Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?
Yes

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
