Description Anne van Kesteren 2023-09-04 08:09:16 PDT
As they are on the global and can be overridden it should be fine compatibility-wise and might even lead to a tiny performance improvement on legacy pages that try to set these. They are already gone in Chromium and Gecko.

An interesting follow-up would be investigating how much of setStatusbarText and setStatusText can be removed.
