## Probe

Same single apex-GET batch as the two sources above (`curl -sI`, 20
domains) — four header lines read off each response.

## Observed

**Content-Security-Policy present (7/20):** duckduckgo.com, github.com,
linkedin.com, nytimes.com, stripe.com, x.com, youtube.com. 13/20 send
none on this response.

**Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy present (4/20):** linkedin.com
(`same-origin`), stripe.com (`same-origin-allow-popups; report-to="wsp_coop"`),
x.com (`same-origin-allow-popups`), youtube.com
(`same-origin-allow-popups; report-to="youtube_main"`).

**Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy present: 0/20.** Not one of the 20
apex responses carries a COEP header at all, including every site that
does set COOP — COOP and COEP are usually paired to unlock
`crossOriginIsolated` (SharedArrayBuffer etc.); on these top-20 home
pages that pairing does not appear once.

**Permissions-Policy present (4/20), and two carry stale directives:**
- duckduckgo.com: `interest-cohort=()` — opts out of Google's FLoC
  cohort API, which Google itself discontinued in January 2022 and
  replaced with the Topics API; this directive opts out of a feature
  that no longer exists in shipping Chrome.
- nytimes.com: `browsing-topics=()` — opts out of the *current* Topics
  API (the FLoC replacement), the more up-to-date of the two opt-outs
  observed.
- linkedin.com, youtube.com: long `ch-ua-*` Client-Hints
  allow-lists (arch, bitness, full-version, model, platform, etc.),
  unrelated to the privacy-sandbox opt-outs above.

## Reading this as adoption data

Of the four headers probed, CSP is the most common (35%), COOP is
rarer (20%), COEP is unadopted on every apex response checked (0%),
and Permissions-Policy use on these top sites today is almost entirely
about either Client-Hints allow-listing or opting out of now-defunct
or superseded tracking APIs, not general feature-policy hardening.

How observed: 2026-10-05T12:03:44Z-12:03:55Z, same batch as the two
sources above, `/private/tmp/nh-b37a/bodies/headers/*.txt`.
