Goals/Use Cases

The goal for this feature is to give our developers the ability to know if changes they are making have wide-ranging positive and negative effects at scale. Are users seeing better performance?

Another goal of this is to give us easy-to-use infrastructure to learn about the structure of the Internet as a whole. That is, how do we tune our browser based on what the Internet and Web do?

Non-Goals

This is not a system for gathering feedback from individual users. It is a system for us to get aggregate health data about browsers in the field. It's also a chance for us to run lightweight tests if we want to learn how certain settings will affect browser performance or user experience. It is distinct from the Test Pilot program.
