Notes

• Jeff followed up on 784189

• Want to land this fix in 19. 18 could even be a possibility
• We will be talking to Yahoo soon to fix toolbar optout issues.
• Hotfix for addons may be more difficult than we assumed.
• Asa recommends we fix in trains or is there a light weight hotfix specifically for preferences
• We could advertise Jorge's addon fix in the snippet.
• Should consider a one time reset for UA changes as well. We need to be careful as there are legitimate uses for this.
