Specification

https://github.com/WICG/shared-storage/pull/161

Summary and Motivation

We have received feedback from developers stating they wanted to be able to
host and run their worklet script on a separate origin (e.g., a cdn) from
the origin that owns and writes their shared storage data. Therefore, we’re
removing the same-origin restriction for addModule worklet scripts. Note
that, when the worklet script is cross-origin to the invoking context, the
invoking context's origin is still used as the partition origin for
accessing shared storage.

We also made a second change, which is to align the new
sharedStorage.createWorklet API (shipped in M125) with addModule to use the
calling context’s origin as the data origin by default (instead of the
script’s origin as the data origin). This is a breaking change, and we
discuss our mitigations below.

TAG review status

We asked
<https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/747#issuecomment-2075450880>
if they’d like to see follow-up changes to shared storage given its
unsatisfied status, and have not received a response. We take the lack of
response as a signal that they would not like to be made aware of
subsequent changes.

Risks

Interoperability and Compatibility

There are no interop risks as no other browser has implemented shared
storage. There is a compat risk for the recently released createWorklet
API. The worklet created by createWorklet before this change had the data
partition of the script’s origin. We’re changing it, to align with
addModule, to use the calling context’s origin instead. We’re monitoring
usage here
<https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/5007> of the
existing API and reaching out to folks using it to let them know that they
should make the following forward-compatible change if they want the
existing default behavior of createWorklet to continue to function after
this change:

before: sharedStorage.createWorklet(worklet_url);

after: sharedStorage.createWorklet(worklet_url, { dataOrigin:
“script-origin” });

The dataOrigin option will be ignored on browsers previous to this change,
and honored correctly after.

We have created a use counter for usage of createWorklet without the
forward-compatible dataOrigin option so that we will know when it’s safe to
make this change. We are also monitoring usage of addModule with scripts
that are cross-origin to the calling context here
<https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/5028>, as
those will suddenly work when they did not before which could be surprising
to developers.
