The deprecation of this feature predates the current process:
https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?revision=149092&view=revision
Summary
Remove these functions from the Performance interface:
sequence<PerformanceEntry> webkitGetEntries();
sequence<PerformanceEntry> webkitGetEntriesByType(DOMString entryType);
sequence<PerformanceEntry> webkitGetEntriesByName(DOMString name, [Default=NullString] optional DOMString entryType);
Motivation
They have been deprecated for almost a year and have extremely low usage.
Usage information from UseCounter

That's shockingly low given the unprefixed usage:

N/A
Compatibility Risk
Pages that only use the prefixed functions with no fallback will start throwing exceptions.
