Description
WebGL in Workers is happening soon (via OffscreenCanvas). Chrome is adding support and talks about it here (see Canvas section) https://blog.chromium.org/2018/08/chrome-69-beta-av1-video-decoder-css.html
I couldn't find any issue, but I know this is something we've talked about in the past. Please post any thoughts/ideas about how you think we may be able to leverage this (and if anyone has time, feel free to investigate further).

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the linked Chrome 69 Canvas discussion and searching the repository for existing worker, OffscreenCanvas, and WebGL handling; done would require an agreed approach and implementation plan for using WebGL in workers.
