Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > shared  memory  counter (SMC),   relies   on   an   experimental
 feature that   allows   for   sharing   of   memory   between JavaScript’s
 web   workers.   SMC   builds   a   high-resolution counter  that  can  be
 used  to  reliably  implement  AnC  in  all the  browsers  that  implement
 it.
