Description Timothy Hatcher 2022-10-13 14:54:43 PDT 
Currently Google Chrome supports "type": "module" for background serviceWorkers. During our 2022-10-13 meeting, while discussing #282, Safari and Firefox agreed it makes sense to also add support "type": "module" for limited event pages.

Basically given this syntax in manifest.json:

"background": {
  "scripts": ["script1.js", "script2.js"],
  "type": "module"
}

The browser would generate a _generated_background_page.html which looks like this:

<head></head><body>
<script type="module" src="script1.js"></script>
<script type="module" src="script2.js"></script>
</body>
