1267110 - Show whether a request is coming from the main thread or a (service) worker in the network panel

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, enhancement, P2)

Description

[(no longer active)]

Right now there is no easy way to tell whether a row in the network monitor has been originated from the main thread, or a service worker, or a normal shared or dedicated worker.  It would be nice to include this information in the UI somehow.

Harald, what about using a little gear icon to mark resources fetched from SW?

Chrome for comparison.

Just to aim for parity, the cog might make sense, especially with a proper photon design and subtler colors. Fission could also inform this planning, that we show which frame/process requests were started from.

This should now be blocked on Bug 1432311 because we no longer show fetch or cache requests coming from service workers anymore.
