Currently, 35 sites, including large and medium-scale origins, participated in the origin trials. Usage metrics can be found at https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/5550. Developers expressed strong interest in using this feature to maintain a SharedWorker's lifetime across same-origin navigations within a single tab. While there were requests for seamless migration from non-extended to extended lifetime workers, we identified a potential "footgun" regarding WebLocks where a long-lived worker could hold a lock indefinitely. To ensure safety, we decided to enforce strict separation between the two lifetime modes. Does this mean Chrome has no intention of implementing the spec'd behaviour <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/workers.html#between-loads-shared-worker-timeout> here? Both Firefox and Safari maintain a single shared worker across navigations. It would be nice to have some interop here. Demo: https://random-stuff.jakearchibald.com/shared-worker-navigation/ (the number is the same every navigation in Firefox and Safari, but not in Chrome, since the worker is re-created each time).
