Summary

This feature ensures developers receive only crash reports by specifying the endpoint named `crash-reporting `. By default, crash reports are delivered to the `default` endpoint which receives many other kinds of reports besides crash reports. Developers can supply a separate URL to the well-known endpoint named `crash-reporting`, to direct crash reports there, instead of the `default` endpoint. See https://wicg.github.io/crash-reporting/#crash-reports-delivery-priority.

Motivation

Developers report needing to receive crash reports exclusively. Currently, all crash reports are delivered to the endpoint named default with no override option. Developers are forced to receive not only crash reports but also unrelated reports like `Deprecated feature usage`.
