Yesterday, Google sent out a slew of notifications through Google Search Console about security or web compatibility issues upcoming with the site and Chrome 91. The email says there are new requirements for SharedArrayBuffers (SABs).

The email explains that "Google systems have recently detected that SharedArrayBuffers (SABs) are uses on your site, but COOP and/or COEP headers are not served.
