FF97 docs work for this can be tracked in https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/11593

This is mostly just browser compatibility update and a page for this method: https://github.com/mdn/content/pull/11804

For the page I just used the simple async polling example from the spec (which checks the signal and throws on each iteration of a loop before executing the function again).

Are there any other cases where this might be useful? Is calling this method how a developer might "generically" implement an abort in their own APIs that take a signal?
