Remove Edge as a default product, but add breadcrumb link

Open stephenmcgruer opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

After a lot of discussion, we have decided to remove Edge as a default product from wpt.fyi due to overlap in browser engine between Chrome and Edge. In a perfect world we would invest in per-user default products, but there is no resourcing for that currently.

To try to minimize the disruption, we add a breadcrumb link back to easily let users get Edge back on the page.

When loading https://smcgruer-remove-edge-d-dot-wptdashboard-staging.uk.r.appspot.com/ I still see Edge there. Are staging deployments not working?

@KyleJu @past and I have talked about what to do about "default product set" when we add a front page.

In short, there will be a widget on the front page to get to results, and that widget will have Chrome, Firefox and Safari selected by default, but can be changed with a few clicks.

All URLs will specify the products to show, or redirect to URLs that do. I think we should redirect to the current default for existing product-less URLs.

A side effect of this will be that there won't be any short URLs that show what you (probably) want.
