I'd make more sense to me that ChannelClassifier doesn't know at all about the third-party status, but just reports that this URL matches list "guyswedontlikebeingathirdparty". It's then up to the caller to reason if that is problematic and warrants a block or not. Is it hard to move the logic more towards the callers?

I don't know the whole history of this code, but nsChannelClassifier is the only consumer of netwerk/base/public/nsIURIClassifier.idl. The API that you mention is already implemented by nsIUrlClassifierCallback which receives the matching tables from nsIUrlClassifierDBService.lookup. I can only guess that whoever implemented this in necko did not want necko to know anything about safebrowsing tables, and just wanted to receive an NS_ERROR status. > Is it hard to move the logic more towards the callers? We could change nsChannelClassifier to call nsIUrlClassifierDBService.lookup instead of nsIURIClassifier.classify, which would move all of the table logic from nsUrlClassifierDBService to necko. Then nsBaseChannel and nsHttpChannel would have to make the decision. I sense this will be a game of hot potato :) Whoever does the third party check must know the channel in order to get the handle to the window though, so I don't think that will solve your first concern. http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/base/public/mozIThirdPartyUtil.idl#124

Comment on attachment 8459044 [details] [diff] [review] Only cancel third party channels with NS_ERROR_TRACKING_URI ( Review of attachment 8459044 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- After working on bug 1033871 for a little bit, this is not quite the right interface change for nsIURIClassifier.idl. Updated patch coming (or I might just roll this bug into that other one).

>We could change nsChannelClassifier to call nsIUrlClassifierDBService.lookup instead of nsIURIClassifier.classify, which would move all of the table logic from nsUrlClassifierDBService to necko. Then nsBaseChannel and nsHttpChannel would have to make the decision. I sense this will be a game of hot potato :) It would make much more sense to me if the code that is checking the third party status would get back the tableList containing "thirdpartydisallowedlist", see that this is relevant for this URI, and take action on that. But you're right that this means leaking knowledge about the lists and what they are outside nsIUrlClassifierDBService, and that's not making things clearer at all. So I withdraw my objection. Like, we can probably come up with a better interface design, but that's really not on the List Of Things We Want To Actually Implement Right Now.

Comment on attachment 8460582 [details] [diff] [review] Only cancel third party channels with NS_ERROR_TRACKING_URI ( Review of attachment 8460582 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Well, the allowlisting stuff turns out to be slightly more complicated, but I think the upshot is that instead of passing isThirdParty to nsIURIClassifier.classify we should be passing enableTrackingProtection. The reason is that UX has requested allowlisting top-level URLs from these checks, and either necko or the loaders that actually create channels is going to have to check the permission manager for this allowlist. Therefore the nsIURIClassifier.classify is going to have to know about isThirdParty or the allowlist in some way. In my view it's better to encapsulate those in a single flag (enableTrackingProtection) rather than pass things in piecemeal. Try: https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=1fc2c2fb73b5 Thanks, Monica

This code does not work in new e10s windows. What should I do instead?

"tracking enabled" would mean that we're allowing tracking; i.e. no protection.

Fixed name to be aTrackingProtectionEnabled everywhere. https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/67912630f225

What should I do instead? There isn't much you can do in C++ right now. You can access topFrameElement on the nsILoadContext to get the <browser> element associated with the load. If you were in JS, you could just call .currentURI on that. But in C++, there's no way to do that. Bug 596109 is supposed to cover that.
