Hello, Following @johnwilander's article “Full Third-Party Cookie Blocking and More” I believe it to be a major mistake to apply full third-party cookie blocking to Service Worker registrations. I fail to see how service workers could store user data in the way the article suggests. As @Adactio points out “This is not a minor change. This is a crippling attack on service workers, a technology specifically designed to improve the user experience for return visits, whether it’s through improved performance or offline access.” I hope you will revert your decision reagrding service workers i that context, or somehow indicate clearly that a website can be added to Springboard (homescreen). Best regards // david
