Adds the JavaScript type SharedArrayBuffer to Android gated behind COOP/COEP. SharedArrayBuffers can be sent to Workers and without neutering the sent buffer. The underlying buffer will be shared between the workers. This feature is only targeting Android - https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/4570991992766464 handles all others platforms
We're re-enabling a feature on android which is already available on all Site Isolated platforms. This can be done safely by gating SABs behind COOP/COEP. The usage of SABs on all other platforms will be migrated as well. The broader plan is outlined in: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/_0MEXs6TJhg
As part of our response to side-channel attacks like Spectre, Chromium disabled SharedArrayBuffer globally, and then re-enabled it on platforms where we could comfortably deploy Site Isolation. This feature will re-enable SABs on Android.
