Client Hints enables user agents to provide device-specific preferences in the HTTP request headers. Accept-CH-Lifetime adds a client hint that allow origins to persist their opt-in policy for a specified period so they can receive client hints on main frame requests. Additionally, on the first page load, this feature provides hints for all subresources of the page. This is expected to be enabled by default in Chrome 67.
