Same as https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=719052 The WPT test for this is: service-workers/service-worker/import-scripts-updated-flag.https.html As far as I can tell from the demo site from https://github.com/w3c/ServiceWorker/issues/1021#issuecomment-266708110, Safari Technology Preview is allowing the importScripts(), so the WPT test should fail. Chrome intends to change to align with the spec, as Firefox and Edge have done.
