Thank you for the feedback -- I agree more context and explanation is needed for each of these tests.

In the Blob case: the test code is storing a unique string in a Blob URL under one website (first party), and then attempting to read back that string under a second, different website. (See "result, different first party".) If the string is accessible under a different first party, then it is possible to use a Blob URL to track a user between two different websites.

Oh ok. That does make sense. Hopefully you read my comment as feedback and not super negative.

Just some verbiage on each test would be wonderful.

You have clearly worked on it. It is a really good resource.

It was helpful feedback. I value all critiques because they help me make the site better.

There is some explanation for each test, if you click on the test name. But it's clear I need to expand those explanations and also make them easier to find.
