Summary

This extension will deny automatic registration of service workers. Service workers who have already registered before the extension was introduced will be unregistered when they visit your site for the first time after the extension was introduced. If you want to allow service workers to register on some of your sites, you can add the domain name to the whitelist so that the service workers will not be denied registration.

Does what it says it does. Finally some end to the service worker garbage.

Doesn't seem to do exactly what it says. I still get service workers installed on regular basis.

Nice concept (whitelisting) and works good. One but huge flaw is an absence of ANY indication of Service Workers presence.
