How to use this reference
Editorial lesson: separate process confidentiality, resource delivery and application authority in architecture reviews. Isolation does not remove same-origin storage access or asynchronous messaging, so these channels retain their own authorization requirements. Evaluate isolation choices against required embedded-resource and sign-in behavior.
Before reading
- Browser origins, frames, HTTP resource policies and process isolation
Context and limits
- Architectural guidance, not an individual vulnerability disclosure or evidence of deployed compromise. Security benefits are the publisher's design claims.
- The article establishes desktop availability from Chrome 137; its Android rollout intention is not confirmation of present support. Verify relevant browser support separately.
- Isolated and non-isolated same-origin frames lose synchronous DOM access but retain asynchronous communication and storage sharing. This is not general tenant isolation.
