From what I gather, ServiceWorkers are now The Right Thing To Do if a webpage needs some off main thread pre/post processing on server-sent data. This got me thinking that pre/post processing is exactly what AdBlock Plus is doing.
So, I wonder: could AdBlock Plus be reimplemented using a slightly beefed up browser-wide ServiceWorker? Could add-on authors similarly implement, say, image-blocking for slow-connections using a similar mechanism? What about anti-viruses, which could possibly perform scans on e.g. swf before it is executed, using js-ctypes and ServiceWorkers?
