Christian: I'm not sure what this API does - the request was to rename some methods. Mozilla comments are positive; WebKit proposed the renaming - I think it's fine to call these factory methods differently; I put a draft comment in the private thread.
Martin: This is idiomatic. +1
DanA: I suggest we do that, please leave the feedback Christian, and note that it's TAG consensus feedback.

こんにちは TAG-さん!
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()
andSharedWorker()
methods on the Storage Access Handle to becreateBroadcastChannel()
andcreateSharedWorker()
to better distinguish between the storage constructor class names and the handle methodsExplainer¹: N/A
User research: N/A
Security and Privacy self-review²: N/A, method name change with no privacy/security impact
