Excessive prompting must also be avoided; this is especially true because of the ubiquity of third-party scripts included in top-level contexts. -To mitigate abuse concerns, browsers must seek additional trust signals. Gating access on First-Party Sets is one mechanism by which this concern can be mitigated. Note that First-Party Sets guarantee mutual exclusivity, preventing a single domain from linking data across sets, and that there [are policy checks](https://github.com/WICG/first-party-sets#abuse-mitigation-measures) that should ensure a valid relationship between the domains in each set. The service domain subset can also be used to disallow less-privileged domains from requesting access. +To mitigate abuse concerns, browsers must seek additional trust signals.
