This should give a performance boost for Chrome since in my observations rendering takes some time, especially when rendering many different pdfs including changing zoom levels. Is there already a plan to integrate this feature?

Interesting find. If we can feature-detect this, we could try benchmarking this.

@timvandermeij it is feature-detectable, see example here: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/08/offscreen-canvas#use_with_popular_libraries
