Navigator: serviceWorker property

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The feature may not be available in private mode.

Note that a worker can similarly access the ServiceWorkerContainer for a document using WorkerNavigator.serviceWorker.

Value
