  at first I thought "oh no, no more Chromeisms, please"

  but actually this API has been supported for ages in Mozilla

  ...yet it's disabled on some ESR releases

  does SeaMonkey even ship with Service Workers support enabled?

  oh, turns out it's behind about:config

  and indeed, after toggling dom.serviceWorkers.enabled, the demo site works

  serviveworkers need more fixes to be at the first draft at least so arer still disabled. I think mozilla enabled them in 60. Not that far way and on the "near" list. Did modules first with the current release.

  about:serviceworkers shows what is going on when enabled. Personally I dislike them. More shady stuff in the background. Web workers were a bit more tied to the website imho.

  interesting enough, Safari doesn't support Service Workers
