"Advertisers (and others) can request information via a JavaScript call to document.browsingTopics(), which will return zero to three Topic IDs, one for each of the previous three weeks, in a random order."

So let's limit the leaking information to zero on L3. L2 could return completely fake results or somehow modified results.

Intent to Deprecate and Remove: Topics API

Explainer

Specification

https://patcg-individual-drafts.github.io/topics/

Summary

The Topics API is a privacy-preserving web API to enable ad-targeting based on a person’s general browsing interests, without exposing their exact browsing history.

Following Chrome's announcement that the current approach to third-party cookies will be maintained, we are now planning to deprecate and remove the Topics API (along with other Privacy Sandbox APIs).

==========================

Summary for JShelter:

Chrome is removing the API and is in the process of deprecation. I do not see a reason to implement the API in JShelter.
