Description

Like the similar issue in Gecko: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1642790

It's widely accepted that black and whitelist is outdated and Edge reportedly has removed it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/b/blacklist

There are many other examples too like https://whatwg.org/style-guide#tone
