Hello webkit-dev,
I've been working on a new header called Origin-Isolation, which is a way of allowing origins to opt-out of using document.domain and cross-origin sharing of WebAssembly.Module, and thus allowing the browser to put them into an origin-keyed
agent cluster instead of a site-keyed one. This could in turn allow the browser to make better behind-the-scenes decisions for process isolation, or other resource allocation decisions, since sites no longer have any ways to synchronously communicate cross-origin.

A natural question one might ask is how this relates to COOP+COEP? The explainer has that covered:

Thanks for your time!
