Simon MacDonald commented on CB-13230:
--------------------------------------

I agree, I think we should revert the changes that generate and include service 
workers in cordova-browser. 

Initially I was thinking it would make sense to add a service worker by default 
in Cordova but after a working with them for a few months it really doesn't 
make sense in a development environment. I've done a short dive into various 
CLI's (Preact-CLI, Vue-CLI and Ionic in this case) and none of them include 
service-workers in their development setups. It's only when they go to 
production that service-workers are included.

Secondly, I feel as if the immediate goal should be to make it easier for users 
to take a PWA they've built and wrap it in a Cordova wrapper for deployment to 
an app store. The goal of Cordova to PWA should take a back seat for now.
