Nice to see more than just ad-blocking covered.<p>The switching from capable, interesting Background Pages to ServiceWorkers is an issue so big you could drive a supertanker through it, it&#x27;s so huge. There&#x27;s a world of APIs that pages have, but ServiceWorkers don&#x27;t, and the list of use cases not being served is epic[1] without even trying, still just barely a surface read. It&#x27;s a vast reduction, a huge constraint, and it just doesn&#x27;t seem like there&#x27;s recognition of how nonsense this downgrade is.<p>There&#x27;s some movement on supporting userscripts, but it&#x27;s really hard to understand what the proposals really are, to me at least. One commented in the new set of proposals pointed out that the Google proposal wouldn&#x27;t allow interacting with DOM elements[2], which just seems like a: hello, where are you? What are you doing? Earth to Google, what planet are you on?<p>[1] <i>Use cases not served by service workers</i> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;w3c&#x2F;webextensions&#x2F;issues&#x2F;72" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;w3c&#x2F;webextensions&#x2F;issues&#x2F;72</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;w3c&#x2F;webextensions&#x2F;issues&#x2F;279#issuecomment-1261954577" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;w3c&#x2F;webextensions&#x2F;issues&#x2F;279#issuecomment...</a>
