[Mike West]

After discussion in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3255 and https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/4001, Chrome is shipping strict MIME type checks on `importScripts()` in Chrome 71 (https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1206270). Intent to Remove thread with discussion and data at https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/blink-dev/35t5cJQ3J_Q/FH45dl0vAwAJ.

It would be lovely if y'all followed suit!

I think we can easily implement this in EnsureMIMEOfScript, we already detect importScript for telemetry purposes anyway.
Interestingly enough in our data we get more wrong importScript loads than Worker(). I am not sure I trust that data.

Load type	Count
serviceworker_load	346473
worker_load	8691
importScript_load	66207
script_load	73557538

Still needs a test, I think I can use the devtools for this, like bug 1510223.

Note to MDN writers:

I've added a note about this to the Fx67 rel notes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/67#WorkersService_workers

In terms of other work, probably just needs an entry adding to BCD, and maybe a more detailed note about it on the importScripts() page.

I've submitted a PR to add a data point about this to our compat data repo: https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/4090

I checked https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WorkerGlobalScope/importScripts, and there is an exception listed that is thrown when the mime type of the scripts are not correct. It looks like this works in terms of providing detail about it. Does that sound correct?
