What those browser runs reported

Reviewed 11 October 2026

These are published results from specific stable-labelled browser builds. They are separate from the compatibility calculation and from evidence about your application. File outcomes and subtest counts stay separate. OK describes a completed harness, which can still contain failing subtests; Pass and Fail can also describe tests without a harness.

What this feature can and cannot do

Helps protect against

  • Residual session data
  • Persistent state after account or device reset

Does not guarantee

  • Server-side data
  • Every browser cache
  • Data outside the origin scope

What you need before using it

  • A deliberate logout or reset flow
  • Secure-context delivery

Fallback to keep in place

Expire application credentials and storage explicitly in addition to server-side revocation.
