Wait, what do SameSite cookies have to do with Spectre?

The use of X-Content-Type-Options and SameSite cookies can prevent cookies from entering memory. Currently those protections are important for users of Chrome's Site Isolation feature.

Ah, so what about Firefox? Does cookies (do not) enter the memory there, too?

Also very interesting correlation generally… is there a blog post for that or do you plan to write one? I'd say that could be worth a blog post. 😄

I'm not sure exactly where Firefox is currently, although I imagine this sort of work will be looked at:
