Over in https://github.com/whatwg/console/issues/193 it was discovered that at some point Chrome had shipped a new API on Console, namely `console.context`. WHATWG's Console Standard attempts to define the Console API surface, so ordinarily I'd expect a change like that to go through the typical blink-dev feature launching process, have some spec work, etc.

It doesn't seem (sorry if I'm missing it) that we went through this process for `console.context`, which is unfortunate because this API seems at least useful to Firefox, though it appears they weren't aware of the change because they strictly implement the standard.

With that said, would anyone on the DevTools team be willing to contribute to the Console Standard to specify `console.context` for the broader web platform? I'm happy to provide guidance and reviews if needed.

Hey Dominic,

That happened a long time ago. I'll see if we can contribute to the Console Standard.

cheers,
Benedikt
