Suborigins are WIP standard that – if implemented by browser vendors – could provide a way to isolate CID-specific paths into their own Origins.

It is an alternative way to solve the Problem of Inability to Control How Origin Is Calculated in Web Browsers (other one being CID-in-subdomain and programmable protocol handler API).

This is a meta-issue to track related work and provide a quick context for newcomers

As noted in ipfs/kubo#3209 (comment) Suborigin value must start with alpha:

LOWERALPHA *( LOWERALPHA / DIGIT )

Revisiting this in context of move to CIDv1 Base32 (https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs/issues/337) we probably should aim at normalizing to cidv1b32:

This is only for /ipfs/, as we don't have case-insensitive solution for /ipns/ yet (ipfs/kubo#5287).

I believe it is time to close this to indicate that due to the lack of adoption (mozilla/standards-positions#31 (comment)) it is no longer a viable option for solving Origin isolation problem.

Shifting focus to CID in Subdomains, which work today across all vendors: #89
