No. The DOM is single-threaded.

Ok, so this bug should be set as WONTFIX?

Comment 3

[Giorgio]

I'm talking about a new instance, in fact

i don't want to share references as happens with frames (window.parent, contentWindow etc)

Comment 4

[:Ms2ger (he/him; ⌚ UTC+1/+2)]

The DOM implementation has global state that can't be shared across threads.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

I haven't seen any realistic spec proposals recently to make core DOM stuff supporting non-main thread.
If that changes, we can always file new bugs.

Comment 8

I don't see why comment 3 by Giorgio was flagged as spam this is exactly the way I feel after hours searching for a polyfill that combines Dom + QuerySelector + Xpath.
I don't want to interact with main document I just want to check for external references in html/XML that I fetched.

You want to :
remove external references in a html that you fetched ? can't
alter Epub ? can't
alter Docx /Odt ? can't
