No, that's not a working exploit, as is said in the paper: > Chrome intentionally degrades the accuracy of its high-resolution timer to dissuade timing attacks using performance.now() [62]. However, the Web Workers feature of HTML5

It shouldn't, unless you base64 decode the header, then parse it with a library that causes the order to change, encode it again, and then use your own re-encoding to calculate the signature: HMAC-SHA256( b64(reencoded_header)

"Bleed" is normally just used for communicating that the exploit leaks data. See Optionsbleed, Heartbleed and Ticketbleed which are not side-channel attacks afaik.

As said in that very blog, no attacks have been observed. Spectre has been out for a year and a half. Can you show me any indication of any feasible attack on firefox or chrome, that has a PoC or at least proof that it can be utilized for a

Yes, as I said, if DCI is already enabled and the device is connected via. a USB 3.0 debug cable. It can be made like this: https://github.com/ptresearch/IntelTXE-PoC#preparing-the-usb... Or you can buy one from Intel.
