OK, I remember now - the key is the diff between Allow for session and Allow and all that context was kinda missing

so something like this, but we will condense it :)

/* 2815: set "Cookies" and "Site Data" to clear on shutdown (if 2810 is true) [SETUP-CHROME]
 * [NOTE] Exceptions: A "cookie" permission controls "offlineApps" (see note below). If you set a
 * site exception for "cookies", either "Allow" (default) or "Allow for Session", then "offlineApps"
 * are enabled for that site, except shared/service workers where the exception must be "Allow".
 * [NOTE] Keep logins: For cross-domain logins, add exceptions for both sites
 * e.g. https://www.youtube.com (site) + https://accounts.google.com (single sign on)
 * [NOTE] "offlineApps": Offline Website Data: localStorage, service worker cache, QuotaManager (IndexedDB, asm-cache)

to

 * [NOTE] Exceptions: A "cookie" permission controls "offlineApps" (see note below), of which
 * Service Workers require an `Allow` permission to function.

maybe :) we can probably do better, plus we better retest

edit: PS: great detective work @Jee-Hex 🍻 🐈 🍕

so I added https://arkenfox.github.io to site exceptions as Allow for Session and ran TZP

Now the (web and shared and) SW I'm only testing that they pass a message. So to function is not the right word. I'll see if I can find a test site for workers "storage"

blocked, for comparison

cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, IDB all fail or error out - I am testing setting some storage and then reading it back - both session only and persistent, except IDB which is persistent.

cache, shared workers, service workers, and file system all error out

STR

• https://webbrowsertools.com/test-service-worker/
• set as allow for session
• close site
• clear everything except the site setting
  • so you're not getting a positive result from the previous visit (since it sets the same thing each time, unlike TZP which uses random, cuz thorin is smart)
• visit site

okie dokie, so seems as if this allow for session is fine
