Goals for experimentation
We’re looking for feedback on API usefulness and performance.
To evaluate usefulness we will rely on the feedback from developers comparing the new API with the existing non-standard performance.memory API. We are specifically interested in accuracy and variability of the measurement results returned by the API.
To evaluate performance we will use V8 GC latency metrics.
The Origin Trial will be limited to JavaScript memory on site-isolated pages. Shipping of the API will be gated by COOP+COEP. See the launch bug: https://crbug.com/1048745 for the security discussion.
Experimental timeline
The extension will be to extend the experiment from ending in Chrome 84 to ending in Chrome 86.
Any risks when the experiment finishes?
No.
Reason this experiment is being extended
Previous Intent to Experiment: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/blink-dev/zxCKzulX424/Ac3zzMqqAQAJ
Reasons:
- The origin trial was planned from M82 to M84. Since M82 was skipped, we lost one milestone of coverage.
- Due to the current situation, the development speed is slower both on my side and for web developers. We need more time to gather feedback and address it.
Ongoing technical constraints
None.
Will this feature be supported on all five Blink platforms supported by Origin Trials (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, and Android)?
The experiment will be limited only to platforms that have Site Isolation because that is necessary for security.
