What's the deal with service workers? I read up on them and do not see how they keep connections open when the page is closed.

  Service workers run in the background independent of any website pages open.

    So your computer can get slower without the hassle of you having to actually install anything!

    They do not, though. Chrome terminates any idle (or too-busy) service workers after some time.
