If you build websites, you inevitably run into problems. Maybe there’s no way to achieve an aspect of your design using CSS. Or maybe there’s a device feature you really wish you could tap into using JavaScript. Or perhaps the in-browser DevTools don’t give you a key insight you need to do your job. We want to hear about it!

The Service Worker API is regularly unavailable in cases where a user refreshes a page, or privacy modes are enabled.

Service Workers have uses beyond caching:

We can't rely on any of these things today because Service Workers are often simply unavailable.

Rather than disabling the Service Worker in privacy mode, or on refresh, it makes more sense to disable its storage. That way, all of these other alternative use cases can still work.

There are ways of keeping ServiceWorkers alive https://plnkr.co/edit/4AWjlY2wFbgiqbZQ. I would suggest using WebTransport.
