Service Workers

Last updated on : 2023-03-20

Note:

Service Workers shows a browser compatibility score of 92. This is a collective score out of 100 to represent browser support of a web technology. The higher this score is, the greater is the browser compatibility. The browser compatibility score is not a 100% reflection for every browser and the web technology support. However, it does give you an estimate on how much you should rely on a particular web technology in terms of browser compatibility.

Overview

This specification defines an application programming interface that allows web developers to use persistent background processes: background processes that continue to run even after the user exits the application. This functionality is an extension to the set of features currently offered by HTML5 Web applications.
