That's great. It's an entirely manual setting on Android and Windows, but I
imagine certain rules like "SSID is 'Android AP'"
OK, so you are using the existing OS-level network interface settings.
At least on Linux, that is a heuristic-based per-interface setting with
a manual override.
None of this happens without the user voluntarily revealing the
information.
How would that possibly work? A new type of permi

Thanks for the reply, Ryosuke! Just to clarify, the `metered`
attribute would be a manual user setting, not a browser heuristic.
This means you could easily mark your all-data included WiFi at home
