But surely this is an implicit assumption in having something work offline. It has to store something locally.
It does make sense to make it more obvious, like requesting access to store offline content or perhaps having an options tab similar to the addons in a browser or the add/remove programs in Windows that lists all the service workers that are installed.
- jahvo 8y agoI don't want websites to work offline. Also, it bothers me that websites can install themselves like that without my permission or knowledge.
- icc97 8y agoThe way I see it, offline isn't primarily designed for websites, it's to replace apps that you'd install on you phone. I agree on the installation confirmation - you have to agree before installing an app and the whole point of the blog post is that the line between a native app and a service worker site is getting smaller. So a similar level of permission should be requested before installing something locally.
