Overview

Disallow to register Service Workers

This extension will prevent Service Workers to be registered. You will be prompted to allow or block each individual SW, per domain. As an example, visit: https://mdn.github.io/sw-test/ The choice will be remembered by the extension, and each individual setting can be cleared. The project source code can be found at: https://github.com/clod81/block_service_workers Contributors are welcome

The allow/deny prompt should clearly state which domain attempts to register a SW. Example: I visit "website.com" which has an embedded youtube video on it. Both the website and youtube (via its iframe) attempt to register a SW, yet the extension only asks "allow or deny THIS worker?" -- I would like to block the youtube SW (which is a useless resource hog) but allow the website.com one. Thanks

Worked for me! (had an issue with a site whose service-worker was somehow outdated/not-updating, and this was the only thing that fixed the issue for me, so I could use the latest version of the site's/webapp's code)
