What does offline and service workers have to do with each other?
When I turned my mobile game into a web app, I didn't have any need for service workers.
Also, if they were limited to web apps, I might not have as big a problem with them. All I've seen them used for, and what all documentation I've seen has all been about tracking users when they don't have your website open, running code in the background (i.e. bitcoin miners) and generating spam "notifications".

@leeloo@c.im how are you loading a page without an internet connection and without using service workers? afaik you need service workers for that also, service workers aren't supposed to be able to just run in the background, this is literally what the vulnerability in my post is about
