@dluzar @googlechrome @excalidraw As I said, strong use cases like Excalidraw’s help the engineering teams make the case for an uninterrupted launch with the API owners. So definitely yes, filing API feedback and making statements of public support for

@dluzar @googlechrome @excalidraw Still a misunderstanding: the exception is not per app (like Excalidraw), but per API (like File System Access). The Chrome developers of such APIs need to request an exception for their origin trial to run uninterrupted

Just opened a PR (https://t.co/ncd0F6O40n) to update our docs about
