Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] ephemeral fingerprinting (#1561)

@samuelweiler can you provide some more detail? I'm not sure what kind of fingerprints counts as 'ephemeral', or how that could be achieved with a service worker. I assume by timers you mean `setTimeout` and `setInterval`, but I'm not sure what counts as 'context-dependent'.

It might be helpful if you could frame it relative to another form of origin storage, eg describe what fingerprinting capability service worker offers beyond `localStorage`.

Service worker is part of origin storage, so if you ask the browser to clear a site's storage, the service worker goes too.
