Things are a bit different these days. That said, there are other interop requests that compete for the team's bandwidth, beside their main projects. The other requests have clearer signals of impact *at the moment*. What is the reason SharedWorker should be desktop-only when every other browser is able to ship it on mobile? To be clear, no one said that SharedWorker should be desktop-only. This is not an if, it's a when. SharedWorker is powerful for sharing resources (connections) between multiple tabs. At the moment I am facing adding unnecessary complexity with leader election and broadcast channels specifically for the Android Chrome browser to emulate SharedWorker as currently it is the only major browser to not support this: https://caniuse.com/sharedworkers - while Firefox Mobile and Safari Mobile both support it. I understand that this feature competes for time with other more important requests. With that in mind, I'd like to politely request that this issue be re-visited soon, so that we can avoid having to implement complex workarounds for lack of SharedWorker on Chrome for Android, and unlock the performance improvements of cross-tab resource sharing on mobile.
