+    For backwards compatibility with older versions of WebExtensions that used
+    <code>chrome</code> as a global identifier for WebExtension related methods,
+    a UA MAY define a global <code>chrome</code> object that includes all
+    properties of {{browser}}.
+    {{browser}} and <code>chrome</code> MAY be direct aliases of each other.
+    When {{browser}} and <code>chrome</code> are distinct objects, each initial
+    property of {{browser}} SHOULD be defined on the <code>chrome</code> object,
+    and each property descriptor on the <code>chrome</code> object SHOULD return
+    the same value as the corresponding property on the {{browser}} object.
