Htmx, WebAssembly, Rust, ServiceWorker Proof of Concept

I RTFA first and couldn't get it working, came here and saw your comment and now know why it doesn't work.

I may be a minority weirdo, but I have set dom.serviceWorkers.enabled to false.

Why? Because legit sites aren't broken by this and I always clear all browsers cache and databases on close (several times per day). IMHO service workers are used mostly for long-lived tracking, to supercede the cookie, and I also dislike background processing for things I just don't care about.

So for me... service workers are disabled. They just don't work. And it turns out the web works just fine.

You read the article titled “… Service Workers…” and tried getting it working on a device, that you explicitly disabled Service Workers because of your strong opinion on them?

I’m… not sure what to say.
