1608512 - Service workers shown in private browsing windows

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Application Panel, defect, P3)

Description

[Andrew Overholt [:overholt]]

If you have service workers registered in your profile, they show up in the Application panel in a Private Browsing window. Should they? (ATM we don't support SW in PB - bug 1320796)

Confirmed on https://serviceworke.rs/message-relay/, the SW does not control the page.

The interesting part is that the SW does control the origin the page is on, just not the page in PB. It does not show up in Debugger for the private browsing page.

So showing it in the SW list is not necessarily wrong but disabling the SW panel for PB would make more sense until bug 1320796 gets resolved.
