Summary

Chrome 125 removes the window-placement alias for permission and permission policy descriptors. All instances of window-placement are replaced with window-management, which better describes the related API functionality. This is a follow-up to Window Management API feature enhancements and renaming from "Multi-Screen Window Placement API"; for more details, see https://chromestatus.com/feature/5146352391028736

Motivation

(Copied from https://chromestatus.com/feature/5146352391028736) The existing "Window Placement" terminology only describes one specific component of the API that allows web applications to place browser windows on target displays. It doesn't encompass the entire surface of the API described in the spec, nor will it adequately describe potential future additions to the API.
