Stop disabling BF Cache for Chrome #587

Closed pmeenan closed 1 year ago

pmeenan commented 1 year ago

Originally there was some concern that the feature would cause problem for multi-step navigations since it keeps the old renderer around but it ends up to not be an issue: https://wpt.meenan.us/result/221205_ZiC4_2/

Leaving BF Cache enabled will make sure to test multi-step navigations like real visitors, including any background activity that isn't silenced immediately for more accurate results (it also allows for testing the improvements for back navigations).
