Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy
COOP severs the link between your page and any cross-origin window that opened it (or that it opens), so they can't reference each other via window.opener. same-origin gives the strongest isolation and, paired with COEP, enables crossOriginIsolated (needed for SharedArrayBuffer and precise timers) while mitigating Spectre-style cross-origin leaks. Use same-origin-allow-popups if you rely on OAuth-style popups. MDN
