Bit of a SameSite update

Hi Scott,

This update is timely!  Yesterday I and others observed IdP session loss during cross-domain (non-wisc.edu) SSO HTTP-POST requests to our IdP, despite having htmlLocalStorage enabled and using ClientSessionStorageService.

I just want to verify that the "do nothing" option is still viable, perhaps I missed a setting?

For now I'm adding "; SameSite=None" to non-SameSite-annotated cookies when the user agent is Chrome / Chromium 80+ and Firefox 79+, which seems to have stemmed the bleeding.

Thanks!
Ryan

And...Firefox.

Will update the page with that.

    I've been adjusting the page intro [1] a bit to reflect the fact that Chrome's breaking change has been rolling out for the last month, and will also be breaking Edge shortly.

    I also finally hit an SP behaving so pathologically broken with frames and POST such that third-party cookies alone weren't enough and the SameSite change broke the IdP.

    So it's starting to get real, just thought I'd note it.
