Service Worker and the Appification of the Web
summary
Service Worker is a client-side proxy that intercept fetch requests so pages can serve cached or network responses and enable robust offline experiences, plus it supports push notifications and background sync for delivering and syncing data. It is HTTPS-only and workers are ephemeral so the browser may terminate them at any time. Chrome and Firefox already ship it; Edge plans a Windows background process implementation that can launch the browser on push and spawn multiple workers in parallel.
