Feature Request: Setting to Just Block Them All w/no dialogues!

Open marksz opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

My Chromebooks were freezing up until I removed all my service workers. Now I have enough ram to stop the virtual memory thrashing, but I'd sure like to not have to say no to every website I visit, as most want to install a service worker theses days.

Please add a setting for users to choose between

  • Block all new requests (existing ones continue to work. Link to chrome://serviceworker-internals/)

  • Ask every time (current behavior)

This allows us to switch back to asking when actually wanting to enable a specific site, then back to Block all new.

from version 1.1.0 (currently in review in Chrome web store), the setting is going to be per domain, not individual SWs
