Considering the following behavior as per [2.6 User Agent Shutdown](https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#user-agent-shutdown): - An installing worker does not persist but discarded. If the installing worker was the only service worker for the service worker registration, the service worker registration is discarded. However, the [User Agent Shutdown Algorithm](https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#on-user-agent-shutdown-algorithm) states: 1. If _registration_'s installing worker _installingWorker_ is not null, then: 1. If the result of running Get Newest Worker with _registration_ is _installingWorker_, invoke Clear Registration with _registration_ and continue to the next iteration of the loop. According to the algorithm, when we call [Get Newest Worker](https://w3c.github.io/ServiceWorker/#get-newest-worker), we're always going to get the installingWorker. Step 1 checks if the _registration_'s installing worker _installingWorker_ is not null and the Get Newest Worker returns newestWorker which is going to be the registration's installing worker since the installing worker is not null. This can be a problem since that means we are always invoking Clear Registration regardless. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
