 Running a SharedWorker from an iframe allows passing of information via
 JavaScript between two websites. Here's a demo, where two tabs from
 different domains share uniquely identifying information. The first tab
 generates a random number, and the second tab displays the same random
 number.

 I haven't looked at ServiceWorkers closely yet, but they appear to offer
 similar (possibly worse) ways to violate first party isolation.
