Their SLAP demo provides a great example of how defence-in-depth can make/break the viability of an exploit. That terrifying Safari demo is possible because Safari fails to isolate new windows in individual processes when calling `window.open` in js.

All the other side channel magic presented here doesn't matter if the data you want to read is in a seperate process with sufficient separation from the "hostile" process in the address space.
