FWIW, signals from Mozilla's side are negative I'd say, at least until
there's a proper spec and agreement on which environment variables
should people implement and ship, and that they all have gone through
the relevant privacy review, the same way new CSS properties go through
a process to get in a spec.
The fact that all the variable names are not listed anywhere would make
it pretty hard for others to implement and keep up with changes. We'd
need to keep track of the WebKit and Blink repos, and figure out when
they or you ship more of these. I don't think such a situation would be
tractable. Relevant links are [1] and [2] in this regard.
On the other hand, we do have a bug on file to implement[3], and
potential use-cases (see dependent bugs). Plus, our mobile team would
also love it, I'd suspect.
But I don't think we'd ship this without those concerns addressed, and
I'd be really sad if Blink did that.
