User impact of ORB and CORB:
- behavior/functionality: no impact (assuming HTTP responses use correct `Content-Type`)
- security: big positive impact - Site Isolation / Out of Process IFrames (OOPIFs) do not offer a meaningful security boundary without ORB and/or CORB.  OOPIFs combined with ORB/CORB are an important piece of defenses against the threat of Spectre-based attacks.
- performance: some risk
