Cast

gollark: No, the ads could just say "allow access from any domain".
gollark: LocalStorage and IndexedDB would be replaced with WebSQL or something, which is just an interface to SQLite.
gollark: It'll send your cookies with it and stuff, so if you could see the response it would be a horrible security problem.
gollark: Yes. The situation now is that browsers will happily send requests from one origin to another, but only if it's a GET or POST request, not allow custom headers with it, and, critically, do bizarre insane stuff to avoid letting code see the *response*.
gollark: Oh, and unify ServiceWorker and WebWorker and SharedWorker and whatever into some sort of nicer "background task" API.
