Summary

Anonymous iframes give developers a way to load documents in third party
iframes using new and ephemeral contexts. Anonymous iframes are a
generalization of COEP credentialless to support 3rd party iframes that may
not deploy COEP. Like with COEP credentialless, we replace the opt-in of
cross-origin subresources by avoiding to load non-public resources. This
will remove the constraint that 3rd party iframes must support COEP in
order to be embedded in a COEP page and will unblock developers looking to
adopt cross-origin-isolation. This way, developers using COEP can now embed
third party iframes that do not.

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility

The main risk is that anonymous iframes fail to become an interoperable
part of the web platform if other browsers do not implement the API.


*Gecko*: No signal (
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/628)

*WebKit*: No signal (
https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2022-April/032205.html)

*Web developers*: Positive (https://github.com/WICG/proposals/issues/53)
Zoom, Google Display Ads, StackBlitz are supportive. Several other
developer also expressed their need to get anonymous iframe to embed 3rd
party iframes inside crossOriginIsolated contexts.

*Other signals*:

Ergonomics

None.


Activation

We are going to publish a blog post: We don't expect developers having
difficulties using is as-is. It only requires adding the "anonymous"
attribute to <iframe>.


Security

See the threat model doc: https://wicg.github.io/anonymous-iframe/#security
http://go/anonymous-iframe-threat-model


WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

No risks identified. This is platform independent. WebView is not an
exception.


Goals for experimentation

- Double check the feature makes sense given large developers like Google
Ads and Zoom. - Confirm this resolves the difficulties deploying COEP and
understand any limitations. - Get feedback about the shape of the API. -
Understand if developers need additional APIs to use it. For instance:
https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/742 or others.


Reason this experiment is being extended



Ongoing technical constraints

None


Debuggability

Anonymous iframes were designed to avoid breaking iframes. They do not
introduce new kinds of failures. In the devtool issue explaining an iframe
was blocked by COEP, Anonymous iframes will be suggested as a potential
solution. The JS API: `window.isAnonymouslyFramed` already reflects whether
a document is embedded inside an anonymous iframe or not. This is not
reflected in devtool yet, but it could be in the future, if we think this
is worth it.


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac,
Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)?Yes

This is a web platform feature. Consistent behavior among all the platforms
is important.
