From my experience, it's the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" response header that causes the problem. So, it's in the way Chrome uses/enforces cross-origin HTTP request/response headers.

That's assuming the metrics they measure actually means anything. It's been proven many times that all the "science" behind these metrics and the resulting numbers are meaningless.

I do believe you're correct. I've run searches for the last few months and came up with nothing. Hate when I can't figure something out. Thanks.
Ask HN: Identifying _wamtcstandards in the Wild
For some time now, I've been finding an entity named "_wamtcstandards" in my cookies and local/session storage. What is its purpose? Where does it come from? The stored value seems to be a hashed or encrypted value that might be unique and possibly personally identifiable. When deleted, it will be replaced.
