Adguard: blocking web worker, service worker

[Clemens-Ratte-Polle]

Moin. How can i see all workers pages using? With uMatrix i can block or allow workers by default. Too many sites use workers in background but could also function without them. So i want to forbid all cause of security reasons. Is that recommended? thx

We don't have such feature and don't plan to implement it yet.

Service workers are part of the web and they do no harm in and of themselves. If we see cases where they are used for tracking in any way that would require separate rules for blocking, we will consider it.

ok, but the service worker or webworkers are really big for many sites. And most people do not know about this option: chrome://settings/content/all chrome://serviceworker-internals/

For sites i know that are unimportant i delete it. So i would forbid serviceworkers by default and allow only specifically. Adguard could do this.

But i think this data is also used for tracking like cookies.
