Service Workers will land on Safari and Edge soon (and brings PWA essentials to all major platforms)

In the last weeks it became clear that Apple’s WebKit, its Safari development platform, will contain Service Workers as part of the near future implementation (take a look at their WebKit Feature Status Dashboard). Also The Register featured a nice blog post about it.

Also Microsoft wants to implement Service Workers in its Edge browser, as can be seen on their roadmap overview.

This is great news to push the Progressive Web App standard, that was proposed by Google quite some time ago (2015) to all major platforms. If you want to catch up on Progressive Web Apps and get an idea how they work and why they are important – check out our dedicated episode „Progressive Web Apps and what they mean for ecommerce“.
