Service workers are great. Quite strange how they would remove it. It would dramatically speed up the site for any slow hosts.

A browser's HTTP cache works similar to a service worker cache, except that there are clear ways to invalidate via headers, while the APIs to invalidate the service worker cache are obscure and stale cache had caused multiple issues in the past.

I agree that SW can work if you write your UI around them, but Gitea isn't really such an UI.
