No Service Worker Extension

No Service Worker is an extension that enables you to disable service workers on all websites.

This addon has two modes to perform the task. The first method is to unregister service workers whenever they are registered. The second method completely nullifies the service worker, so websites cannot initiate the service worker in the first place. The second method is rather aggressive and not recommended as some websites may encounter errors. There is also an option in the popup toolbar to delete the cache (window.caches). This addon has a whitelist feature to exclude certain domains. You can add a domain via the toolbar popup or from the right-click context menu within the page. If you want to turn off the addon, please open the toolbar popup and then click on the toggle button at the top left corner.

If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/no-service-worker.html).

Clemens Ratte-Polle (ID: 00000020588ec5f5) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/06/2023 till now ok... But the context menu should not show "add domain to the whitelist", better "allow Service worker". There are many whitelists in my addons ;)

Steven Pearce (S. Pea) (ID: 000000b7a61ac31e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/07/2022 Finally found something to prevent websites from pretending my browser is online when it most certainly is not. I can finally browse hastle free, knowing that if my browser fails to connect to a server, that it won't load a webpage in it's place, so that I can actually diagnose an internet outage whenever it happens without fiddling around wondering why YouTube loads up it's page as if it's online, only to taunt me by telling me that it i'm offline. I miss the days when websites display as offline whenever they are offline. Web developers need to stop messing around with us internet surfers. We don't need zombie websites haunting our web browsers.
