This is a massive change for cache in webapp templates as it makes their rendering more stable and thus more cacheable.

A key component here is that we are trusting the user's browser to not be tampered with, as it is the browser that sets the Sec-Fetch-Site header and guarantees it has not been tampered with.

I wonder if that's a new thing ? Do we already rely on browsers being correct in their implementation for something equally fundamental ?

The entire web security model assumes we can trust browsers to implement web security policies!
