Summary

Chromium has been showing deprecation warnings since 2015 whenever the API is used in a non-secure browsing context. We now conclude the deprecation by restricting the API to secure browsing contexts. This change brings Chromium’s implementations in line with the privacy and security recommendations in the specification, and is aligned with the overarching effort to deprecate powerful features on insecure origins.
