Currently Google Chrome supports "type": "module" for background serviceWorkers. During our 2022-10-13 meeting, while discussing #282, Safari and Firefox agreed it makes sense to also add support "type": "module" for limited event pages. Basically given this syntax in manifest.json: "background": { "scripts": ["script1.js", "script2.js"], "type": "module" } The browser would generate a _generated_background_page.html which looks like this: <head></head><body> <script type="module" src="script1.js"></script> <script type="module" src="script2.js"></script> </body>
