Description

Proposal

In https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11454, we are updating sticky activation to carry across same-origin navigations and traversals. The docs at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Sticky_activation should be updated to reflect this.

Browser support

This is being prepared to ship in Chromium, almost certainly version 142.

WebKit and Gecko are positive but I don't know about concrete engineering milestones.

Tasks

Dependencies

No response

Additional information

https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/11454 contains (or will soon contain) links to browser implementation bugs and web platform tests.

Are you willing to support this work?

Sorry, I am retiring soon and won't have time to provide reviews! @mustaqahmed might be able to help though
