Hi everyone,
Jonathan is unfortunately not with the company anymore so I wanted to
follow-up and clarify our current timeline for disabling appcache.
It is my intention to land bug 1619673 [1] in Firefox 77 and let it ride
the trains.
We would keep the pref off in 78 because that's an ESR release
I spoke to some folks who work on Chrome and they suggested because of
their larger usage numbers there wasn't a concrete timeline that they were
working towards, however they think there is an active plan to exchange
appcache for service worker on some Google products they have which will
aid in i
It's been a long time coming :) Do you know if Chrome plans to drop
support, too?

performance and security perspective. Service workers have long solved the
same use cases as AppCache.
Removal of this code would bring a large reduction of code and complexity
