Summary

Exposes a WebDriver command to allow browser automation, such as the automated testing, to force Bounce Tracking Mitigations to run immediately. There are currently no web-platform-tests for Bounce Tracking Mitigations. Adding this WebDriver command allows web developers to create web-platform-tests to test their implementation and verify its adherence to the spec.

Excited about this getting prototyped! I look forward to discussing the specifics, such as the exact shape of the WebDriver Classic or BiDi command(s) / event(s). Please keep me looped in.
