SpecificationNone

Summary

Frame Ancestor Headers would expose information about the relationship
between a request's ancestor frames and that request's target by adding two
new HTTP request headers, `Sec-Fetch-Frame-Top` and
`Sec-Fetch-Frame-Ancestors`. This should support developers' understanding
of the circumstances in which they may have access to unpartitioned
cookies, and the ways in which their resources may be partitioned.

Motivation

Currently, there is no signal on the web platform that comprehensively
indicates the relationship between a request's destination and its ancestor
frames. This information is important for sites to understand how cookies
may be partitioned on a request and why a request may be autogranted
storage access permissions. This feature offers two new headers as signals,
`Sec-Fetch-Frame-Top` and `Sec-Fetch-Frame-Ancestors`, whose values will
indicate whether a request's destination is `same-origin`, `same-site`, or
`cross-site` to its top frame and all of its ancestor frames respectively.
