I'm requesting an early TAG design review for renaming the Storage Access handle methods for non-cookie StorageAccessAPI.
Based on community feedback we would like to rename the BroadcastChannel() and SharedWorker() methods on the Storage Access Handle to be createBroadcastChannel() and createSharedWorker() to better distinguish between the storage constructor class names and the handle methods
Explainer¹: N/A
User research: N/A
Security and Privacy self-review²: N/A, method name change with no privacy/security impact
