Description
What type of issue is this?
Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
The no-referrer-when-downgrade, origin-when-cross-origin, and unsafe-url are marked as unsupported on Firefox. However, these three policies are ignored only for cross-site sub-resource loads.
What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?
No response
What did you expect to see?
I would like to see that there are footnotes to describe where does these three policies get disabled.
Did you test this? If so, how?
Yes, I tested this via this link.
