👷‍♀️ 👷 Service Worker Detector

💻 💬 Description

This extension detects if a website registers a Service Worker by reading the navigator.serviceWorker.controller property. This read-only property of the ServiceWorkerContainer interface only returns a ServiceWorker object if its state is activated. It returns null if the request is a force refresh (shift + refresh) or if there is no active worker.

⚠️ If the extension does not seem to work, perform a soft reload, so the Service Worker has a chance to become active.

This is not an officially supported Google product.
