I'm currently working on implementing Opaque Response Blocking (ORB), and one part I'm going to try out is to have <embed> and <object> elements load images in synthetic documents, just like how <iframe> does (https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D148117). This makes the ORB implementation simpler, since I can then handle cross origin requests just like how we do process switching for cross origin documents.
This is not really how spec describes image loading for <embed> and <object>, but initially I will try to adhere to spec as much as possible, but there's also discussions changing the spec https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/7939. This is currently in review at https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D148117 and I'm hoping to land it soon. The number of tests that I've needed to change have turned out to be fairly low https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D148118, and hopefully the visibility of this change to web pages should be minimal. One place where there will be a known observable difference is in DevTools, where there now will be a browsing context/document as a child to either the <embed> or <object> element. My intention is to have this turned on for Nightly only, with prefs in place to quickly have it turned off. That pref is: browser.opaqueResponseBlocking.syntheticBrowsingContext I've also added a bonus pref that depends on the previous to turn off the spec adhering hacks (essentially to hide browsing contexts from `Window.frames`, named targeting etc). That pref is: browser.opaqueResponseBlocking.syntheticBrowsingContext.filter Since this is a bit on the experimental side, I'd be very happy if I could have your help to keep extra eyes on any breakage that happens due to this. I'll make sure to send a follow-up as soon as I land this. Opinions before landing are of course also welcome! -- farre -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "dev-platform@mozilla.org" group.
