Off topic, but since we're here.... how about simpler language? "To help sites understand user preferences..."

I think this is a good change too

my concern around the "user studies" language (and similar) is that it doesn't seem bound or limited in anyway, which makes it difficult to make this actionable in spec reviews. On one extreme, we don't want a rule that says "any privacy-affecting changes to the web platform are acceptable as long as the proposers did a user study." On the other side, we dont want to require reviewers to be experts in understanding, designing and assessing human subject research (which is its own specialized field of research requiring years of study and expertise, etc). If folks think its important to include "user studies" text here, what guides, limits, and bounds can be included to address these concerns? |

I've asked the Web Perf WG for thoughts in https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-perf/2023May/0007.html. |

Should "browser-configurable" be "user-configurable" here?

browser-configurable here is the same thing as user-configureable. "browser-configureable" means the user can configure the browser to change the policy

Remove list of suggestions around privacy labor and ancillary data.
I also think it'd be fine to solve #220 by being more specific about how browsers could prevent privacy labor around ancillary data collection w/o collecting ancillary data from users who dont want to or anticipate that data collection
