Details
https://github.com/slightlyoff/BackgroundSync/blob/master/explainer.md has a design document for enabling web pages to perform synchronization in the background.
This bug pertains to one-off synchronization permission. When granted (perhaps persistently) the web page can synchronize some data in the background through a service worker when the user is next connected to the network. A web page can only use this API when there's at least one window running the web page open.
This has implications for battery life, privacy (e.g. geolocation through IP addresses), and perhaps exceeds what users think a page is capable of.
